Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

IN this metric measurement learning exercise, students draw 5 lines which are shorter than a centimeter and 5 lines which are longer than 1 cm.

In this measurement worksheet, students use a tape measure or a ruler to measure items in the classroom to find those that are greater than 100 cm and less than 100 cm. 

Students create a paper dart airplane and measure its flight pattern. In this flight lesson, students follow the included directions to build their own paper airplane. The students change the aileron configurations to see how it affects...

Students identify and use descriptive writing and measurement terms to describe a student-created robot. Then they construct robots of materials available and then use AlphaSmarts or Danas to describe the robot using only the dimensions....

Traveling through space is an amazing experience, but it definitely takes a toll on the body. After reading an article and watching a brief video, learners perform an experiment that simulates the effects of zero gravity on the...

In this Celsius worksheet, students review the Celsius scale and then mark temperatures for the first thermometer. Students then study the temperatures on the thermometers and write the temperatures.

Third graders create Powerpoint templates of pictures they have taken. Using both standard and metrric measurement units, they describe what units of measurement they would use for each object. In the computer lab, they work in pairs to...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students estimate lengths of items in centimeters, then use rulers to check estimates.

In this word search learning exercise, students locate 13 words related to measurement. The word list includes volume, measure, and meter.

In this word search worksheet, the student finds 12 measurement words in the square and circle the words either across or down.

Math vocabulary has never been easier to understand! Use vocabulary cards to bring word walls to your classroom, helping kids make the connection between important math terms and easy-to-understand illustrations.

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

Students find the mass, volume, and density of various objects. In this density measurement lesson, students observe how same-sized objects can have different masses, then use water displacement to find the density of each object and...

Young scholars weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.

Students compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

In this estimating weights of objects worksheet, students observe objects, estimate the metric measurements, and choose the best answer. Students solve 9 problems.

For this converting measurements worksheet, students use the millimeter to meter conversion tool to help them convert the given measurements. Students solve twenty four problems.

In this mathematics worksheet, students imagine that a giant needed a ruler to measure things in his world. they draw a line under the bottom edge of the ruler and under each mark, write the size of the fractional part.

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

Third graders use a ruler that has a bag tie slider attached to it to measure a number of items. While measuring, they complete a "Sliding Along" worksheet and a "Sliding Synthesis Journal." In the journal entry, they include what they...

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Third graders attempt to determine the height of a telephone pole or tree without climbing to the top.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. For this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...
