In this estimating and measuring worksheet, students will estimate the capacity of 10 objects and record information in liters and milliliters. Then students will measure the actual capacity of these objects and record to complete a table.

In this identifying used to measure worksheet, learners review standard and metric units of measure, circle the picture of the unit used to measure and the picture of the correct tool required. Students circle four answers.

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

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.

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...

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Third graders view and measure common body parts to find a fathom, a span, and inch. They discuss the historical information about how standard English measurements came to be and why body parts can no longer be used as a standard...

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

Third graders engage in a lesson 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. Students define the...
