In this units of measurement review worksheet, students read 10 phrases and determine the units of measurement they would use to measure each of the objects.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

In this length worksheet, students see the lengths of different leaves and answer word problems about them where they put them in a sequenced order. Students complete 3 problems.

Students study metric measurements in the sport of track. In this metric measurement lesson, students watch a video clip to help them understand the different starting points for a track race. Students discuss the size of a meter and the...

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Fourth graders explore measuring with English unit rulers. They practice measuring in fractions of inches. Students discuss how to place the ruler when measuring an object. They begin measuring using rulers with 1/4 inch increments and...

In this British units of measurement worksheet, students answer 8 questions in which they either estimate and then add pounds and pence, or they measure a length using meters and centimeters. Students can determine whether their answers...

Fourth graders practice multiplication and division with cooking recipes. In this math lesson, 4th graders look at a recipe and change it so that it works for twice as many people or half as many people. 

A n incredibly thorough activity on how to read and use a ruler awaits yours students. Students identify lines on the ruler and use the proper abbreviations for the lengths. Students answer ten questions about ruler usage.

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...

Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.

By splitting rectangles into four equal parts, scholars practice calculating area and determining side length. They begin by determining the area of each rectangle before segmenting it. Then, they use the space provided to split it into...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Young scholars use the 50 States Quarter Reversal as a context of learning a curriculum concept based from the state of Utah. They research the concepts of cause and effect. Also, they use customary units of measurement to find length...

Students investigate their tracks to determine the number of footsteps it takes to travel the entire length of their bodies. Then they determine the taller of two children and the shorter of two children with their tracks. Students also...

Upper graders define perimeter and area of a rectangle, estimate numbers of cubes and determine the maximum amount that will fit in a given space. In this math lesson plan, pupils complete related worksheet, build prisms and find volume...

There is only one area calculation problem here, and the explanation is detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Scholars assess a rectangle with given length and width, calculating its area. Next, they break it...

In this proportions worksheet, students identify and complete 8 different problems that include using proportions to build scale models of various animals. First, they use the scale to complete the chart and draw lines representing the...

Peruse these perimeter word problems with beginning geometers, possibly projecting it as an all-class warm up. There are three scenarios here, each with a visual. Scholars determine the perimeter of a swimming pool, find the missing...

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Fourth graders explore the mass and length of peanuts by pretending to parent a peanut. In this mode, median and range lesson students graph their measurements and then use them to find the mode, median and range. Students discuss peanut...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this lesson, where young scholars crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and...
