Learners, using a list made up of things from around the room; estimate the distance of one of the items on the list with one unit, record their prediction, and then actually measure items with non-standard measuring devise.

In this measuring with body units learning exercise, students read examples of unusual units of length based on the body, then use these measurements to record estimated and actual length measurements of 5 common objects.

Students learn how to measure length using inch units.  In this measurement lesson, students use two different units of measure to measure the length of a Leopard Shark and then use pattern blocks to measure its length. ...

For this measuring length and height worksheet, students measure the lines with arrows on different shaped objects and fill in the length, height, base, or diameter boxes with the correct measurements. Students write five answers.

In this math worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this...

Third graders explore measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 3rd graders examine visual examples using standard units to measure length. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

In this units of measurement worksheet, students estimate and then measure each of the 3 pictures to the nearest inch. Students then use the measurements to solve 3 story problems.

In this customary length worksheet, students solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

Students convert among liquid measurement units. In this measurement lesson, students use Visual Thesaurus to gather information about customary units for liquid measure such as cup, pint, and quart, then students practice converting...

In this measurement instructional activity, students determine which of 3 measurement tools would be used to answer 4 mathematical questions. Students circle their multiple choice answers and then draw or write an explanation for each...

Gardening geometers construct the formula for the area of a rectangle by viewing a video revolving around two young people, their lawn mowing business, and their need to charge by the square meter. A relevant real-life application lesson!

For this mathematics worksheet, students model a batting stance with a regulation size baseball bat. Then they model the batting stance with a souvenir miniature baseball bat. Students measure the length of each bat in centimeters and...
