Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

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...

Pupils learn basic measuring techniques by measuring a chair. In this measuring lesson plan, students are asked to measure the various parts of a chair, and then record their measurements. Then they have to calculate different math...

Pupils make a ladybug art item using math vocabulary and measurements of circles. Ladybugs are made using a compass. Once the bug is complete, attach a previously-written Haiku to it.

Would you measure the height of a living room in centimeters? Scholars examine which units would be most efficient for this project: centimeters or meters. There is only one question here with a detailed explanation below. This would be...

Young mathematicians calculate the area of rectangles and squares. In this geometry lesson, learners are grouped in pairs and use geoboards to construct rectangles. They calculate the area of the figure by counting the number of square...

In this math graphs worksheet, students write line plot, tally chart, pictograph, or bar graph to tell the best kind of graph to use to answer the six questions.

Students examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson students make biscuits. Students are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the nutritional...

Learners investigate measurement conversions using a visual demonstration.  In this mathematics conversions lesson, students create an image of a plastic gallon jug using a paint software program.  Learners utilize the jug...

Students participate in a variety of Olympic themed activities in order to measure their results. In this measurement lesson, students participate in cotton ball shot put, paper plate discuss throw, and other events to have fun while...

Students estimate the measurement in centimeters for common classroom objects. They check their estimations, discuss the differences and write a paragraph summarizing the activity.

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement instructional activity, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Pupils explore quilting. In this math patterns lesson, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...

Third graders learn to read an analog clock to the minute by going through this interactive presentation. They view animated slides, try it themselves, and review vocabulary, all within the same website.

Students build and program a LEGO robotic car as well as measure and graph its speed. They acquire familiarity with principles of construction, motion, design and problem solving. They compare a robot's speed over two different surfaces...

In this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

Learners plant and maintain a garden. In this plant lesson, students are responsible for a class garden. Learners video the growing process. Students also record the growth results on a class chart. 

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

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of measurement. They conduct an experiment by measuring the amount of children needed to cover the distance of 50 yards. They calculate the distance around the world and how...

In this measuring worksheet, students use a centimeter ruler to measure the perimeter of 3 figures. They then draw 4 shapes in the grid on the page.

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.

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, students apply this new knowledge to...

Third graders engage in a instructional activity 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....
