Students explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

Students work with circles, angles and estimating angles in the night sky. In this circles and angles lesson, students practice measuring a degree using the circumference of a circle and apply the degree to determine a way to use their...

Young mathematicians collect data and graph it. They work collaboratively to collect data regarding the span of arm length versus height and graph the data they collect.

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Can your scholars find the perimeter of Peter's square of gold? They examine the shape and are given it's four equal side measurements in millimeters. Learners solve for the perimeter and should be reminded to include units in their...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The teacher...

In this area card game worksheet, 4th graders cut out the cards, drawing them one at a time, recording the measurement in the chart as length or width then finding the areas in a card game format.

For this non-standard units worksheet, students circle the best unit to use to measure given items, drawing or writing to explain their work. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Pupils examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

In this centimeter/millimeter worksheet, students estimate the length of pictures of tropical fish, then measure each to the nearest centimeter and use the measurements to solve 2 problems, then solve 2 additional problems.

Students study fractions by comparing rations using Cuisenaire rods. They make predictions, measure lengths using Cuisenaire rods and explain their answers. Next, they discuss the relationship of the different rods in terms of their...

In this area and volume worksheet, students calculate the area, volume, and length of sides of different cubes. Students complete this for 3 cubes and answer 3 questions.
