Students experiment with various containers to explore standard units of liquid capacity. They create a diagram to illustrate the liquids and units of measurement that each container holds. Each student is then challenged to compute...

Students observe leaves. In this math and science cross-curriculum leaf lesson, students take a nature walk and collect leaves. Attributes are assigned and leaves are sorted in various ways. Students use non-standard or standard units of...

In this converting measurements learning exercise, students use the table to solve 6 story problems that require students to convert customary units and units of time.

In this nonstandard units of measurement worksheet, learners estimate how many pretzel sticks high a rake would be. Each learners uses one pretzel to measure an actual rake.

Does it ever seem like time is slipping through your fingers? Model the passing of time with an hourglass activity in which individuals determine whether hourglasses are the most efficient way to measure time.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Young scholars practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson plan, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Young scholars measure various items in the classroom, using their creative...

In this units of measurement worksheet, students review cups, pints, and quarts. Students complete 5 cup, pints, and quarts conversion questions.

In this customary weights worksheet, students solve 13 problems in which the weights of objects are estimated, ordered and converted. All are standard units of weight.

An in-class and at-home assignment, young math stars find and list items from home and school that they think are one foot in length. Once the list is made, provide everyone with rulers to measure and find the actual lengths of their items.

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 customary units of weight worksheet, students use the math table that shows the normal weight of balls used in various professional sports. Students use the numbers in each table to solve the problems.

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Students examine why having standardized units of measurement is important. They investigate the use of non-standard measure, twigs, while measuring the piece of tape. Next, they experiment with straws, paper clips, and rulers before...

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. In this physical science and measurement lesson, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

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.

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

Students discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...

Third graders use ruler and tapes to measure classroom objects. After discussing measurement tools, have students complete sentences stating what they would use to measure various objects. Later in the computer lab, they type their...

How do dams support bodies of water? Scholars engage in a hands-on STEM activity where they design, build, and test dams to learn about bodies of water and how humans use natural resources. They learn how criteria and constraints affect...

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...

In this measurement worksheet, students convert 10 metric units of measurement to standard or English units for liquids, mass, and length. This worksheet is printable and no answers are available.
