Young scholars explore weather instruments. In this weather lesson, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the lesson. Young scholars set up a weather station using their instruments...

Youngsters show understanding of accurate division of whole number, decimals, fractions, and percents using manipulatives (candies). They use white boards to demonstrate their understanding of representing numbers as defined in the...

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction instructional activity, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and...

Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

In this perimeter worksheet, students solve five problems in which they calculate how much floor molding they need to buy for a living room. Students use the provided grid to draw the plan.

Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

In this metric weights worksheet, students read 10 sentences and from two choices of metric weight units, fill in the most correct answer. Example: A turkey weighs about 2 (kilograms, grams).

In this converting imperial units activity, students complete converting 12 metric units from imperial units to metric or vice versa.

Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Fourth graders learn the numerical value of each underlined letter of the standard Rod Code and develop systematic usage for building new units.

Students begin to recognize that objects have many measurable attributes. They examine how to identify and accurately measure attributes of common objects. Also Students report their measurement findings.

Students discover what the latitude and longitude of their location is. They start walking and measure their shadow. They fill in a chart to discover the approximate time.

In this congruent triangles and rectangles worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they identify whether triangles and rectangles are congruent, and construct triangles. Students must explain their reasoning and prove each answer.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Fourth graders practice measuring different objects in inches. Individually, they estimate the length of the same object in centimeters and then calculate the actual length. They compare and contrast their estimate to the actual length...

Learners practice working with the metric system by measuring and recording the lengths of their smiles.

Students explore the size of a kilometer and the time it takes to cover this distance. They develop a concept of a km. They measure a distance of 1 km and the time taken to cover it.

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Here are eight real-life problems for your class to solve when learning to calculate perimeter and area. Because www.K6Math.com is stamped across the background of the page, you may not want to use it as a homework, but rather use the...

Get things moving with this elementary science unit on simple machines. Through a series of nine lessons including teacher demonstrations, hands-on activities, and science experiments, young scientists learn about forces, motion,...

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...
