Snakes and lizards can be very tiny or very long. Your class will get out their rulers to see just how big snakes and lizards can be. They discuss several different reptiles by reading the included animal fact cards, then each small...

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, learners apply this new knowledge to...

Here is a lesson on how to convert inches to centimeters using bubblegum. In this measurement lesson plan, learners get into partners and blow bubbles. One student blows bubbles while the other measures the bubble in inches. Then the...

Students practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Students measure various items in the classroom, using their creative measurement system.

Young scholars review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. For this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Young scholars then use an inch ruler to measure...

Third graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the estimate and approximation of different masses. They weigh different objects and compare the different measurements and then use a balance to compare them. Students define the...

Third graders investigate liquid measurements by estimating how many cups it takes to fill containers. The students predict the liquid measurements and then find the actual amount using the water in a bucket. Students then compare...

For this measuring length worksheet, students learn to use a rule to measure distances. Students measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students finish by drawing lines using a ruler and the given measurements.

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement instructional activity, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and...

Students discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...

Young scholars discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.
