In this standard measurement worksheet, students solve 10 problems in which body parts and classroom objects are measured in inches. A paper ruler is provided.

Third graders find the perimeter of a polygon. In this measurement activity, 3rd graders use yardsticks to measure straight-lined objects to the nearest 1/2 inch. Student choose a "mystery object," find the perimeter, and record it on...

Students plan and build a ramp designed for maximum distance a car can travel. In this physics and data collection math lesson, students work in groups to design a ramp using various household materials. Students test small cars on their...

Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. They will watch the video "Math Can Take You Places" and identify three problem solving strategies.

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

Students investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The instructional activity is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape...

Students explore humpback whales. In this humpback whale lesson, students determine the actual size of humpback whales and use diagrams to identify the major features of the humpback whale.

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.

Using a set of simple data, learners create a line plot to organize the information. This data includes only single-digit numbers and the highest number is six. Because the answer is explained and illustrated at the bottom, project this...

These measurement word problems can be tricky! Scholars will need to keep track of numbers as they determine who has the shortest bed, the longer car key, and a bus longer than nine meters. For each, there is an image depicting the...

Apply area calculations to everyday situations using these three word problems. Mathematicians must pay attention to the needs of each space, determining the largest or smallest area of several options. Consider expanding on this by...

Third graders explore their multiplication skills. They will use their problem solving skills to solve an everyday math problem that requires them to multiply numbers. This lesson incorporates the use a video titled "Blossom and Snappy...

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Young scholars explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Young scholars create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Learners participate in a project to map their school. They measure and graph various areas around the school. Students find the longitude and latitude of the school and research the school's history, and highlight special important areas.

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this lesson, where learners crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and practice...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot instructional activity, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

An inventive lesson shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and present...

Young scholars explore the concept of measurement as it relates to equivalencies. They complete simple conversions using visual models of measurement units, and  record their answers in a two-column table.

Introduce the day's lesson by reading Jack and The Beanstalk by Richard Walker, and then review the concept of area with your class. We don't always need rulers to measure, though! Teach learners how to use their hands to help us measure...
