Students experience measuring things without the system of inches or millimeters. They utilize a ruler to measure or a body part to measure at least three body parts such as your ear height, finger length of foot width. Students...

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

Learners explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. In this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Learners analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

Third graders measure items around the classroom using meter sticks. In this measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders are taught how to measure the length of an item with a meter stick. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, decimeters, and...

In this units of measurement review learning exercise, students read 10 phrases and determine the units of measurement they would use to measure each of the objects.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

In this length worksheet, students see the lengths of different leaves and answer word problems about them where they put them in a sequenced order. Students complete 3 problems.

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement instructional activity, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such...

A n incredibly thorough worksheet on how to read and use a ruler awaits yours students. Students identify lines on the ruler and use the proper abbreviations for the lengths. Students answer ten questions about ruler usage.

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

Linear, square, and cubic units are all investigated as different types of packages are measured. The teacher will need supplies such as a box of aluminum foil, a package of ribbon, and a bag of mulch. The class determines the...

Students investigate the parts of a tree, measure its circumference and the length and width of its longest branch. The data is compiled and placed into a bar graph.

Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.

By splitting rectangles into four equal parts, scholars practice calculating area and determining side length. They begin by determining the area of each rectangle before segmenting it. Then, they use the space provided to split it into...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Students investigate their tracks to determine the number of footsteps it takes to travel the entire length of their bodies. Then they determine the taller of two children and the shorter of two children with their tracks. Students also...

There is only one area calculation problem here, and the explanation is detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Scholars assess a rectangle with given length and width, calculating its area. Next, they break it...

Peruse these perimeter word problems with beginning geometers, possibly projecting it as an all-class warm up. There are three scenarios here, each with a visual. Scholars determine the perimeter of a swimming pool, find the missing...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

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

For this metric measurement of length worksheet, students find the 4 real objects pictured and estimate the length in centimeters. Students then measure and record the lengths in centimeters or meters.

A few good questions move this lesson right along. Young mathematicians use critical-thinking skills as they learn how to determine the perimeter of various shapes. They determine perimeter first by measuring and adding the lengths of...

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...
