Bring math and reading informational text together with a reading comprehension lesson. After kids read about isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangles, they answer five comprehension questions to demonstrate how they can use context...

Young ornithologists watch an informative video and use the Internet to gather data about the life, size, habitat, and migration of hummingbirds. The interdisciplinary lesson includes activities that target art, science, math, and...

Students take part in a variety of measurement tasks. Students measure the length of a slinky. Students work out how many slices of tomato will fit around the edge of a pizza. Students measure the label from a can accurately.

Yummy! Use Twix candy bars to teach a lesson in comparing length! Learners will love this lesson and you will be addressing Common Core standards at the same time!

Students review different units of measurement that would be used to measure height. They compare their height to that of Abraham Lincoln by working with a partner to make a life size tracing of each other and measuring their height.

In this centimeter worksheet, students read about and view examples of length in centimeters, then draw lines shorter and longer than 1 centimeter. A website reference for additional activities is given.

Student explore estimation and measurement. In this measurement activity, 2nd graders measure french fries, graph their data, and determine the size of french fries that is the best value. Students practice how to add prices and...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Second graders work with liters and milliliters for measurement.

Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

For this literature and science worksheet, students listen to a family member as they read "Bear Shadow." They conduct experiments that with light, shadows, and measuring tools before recording the date they did the experiment. They...

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. For this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid...

Students measure the rainfall/snowfall on the playground on a rainy/snowy day with a rain/snow gauge. They draw a bar graph representing the amount of water that fell and observe a satellite image of the clouds and local weather system...

Young scholars explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.

Students solve problems using mathematical skills. In this math lesson plan, the students use math concepts, to design a virtual path for a ladybug. The students will reinforce their skills in algebra and geometry concepts.

Students create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Note that although the publisher lists almost all of the Common Core standards for both math and language arts, you will most likely want to take the general topic and choose which area to focus on. Regarding math, pupils measure worms...

Students estimate quantity, length, and area. Students practice making comparison estimations of different items and estimate whether or not the amount is greater or less than a certain amount. Students practice making estimations.

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Young scholars explore baseball. This is a cross-curricular plan that includes math, history, and agriculture. Pupils use their five senses to observe the materials a baseball is made from and identify the agricultural products used. In...
