Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Six word problems provide practice for young geometers to review angles, the angle a of straight line, circles, right angles, and others. I like the approach of these questions; they require thinking and explaining, not just computation.

Students use their feet to measure distance between themselves and a tree trunk.  In this distance lesson plan, students use the number of steps, and string to measure distances and height of the tree.  Students can get the...

Practice putting decimals in order. This resource presents ten sets of decimals for kids to order. After working through the first five sets, they review measurement and unit conversion (kilometers and meters) in the next five problems....

Combine measurement, following directions, physics, and art with one fun activity. Learners read a set of instruction to create three different kinds of paper airplanes. They measure, fold, and fly the planes, and record data and answer...

Elementary schoolers practice measuring elapsed time between events. Learners work together to complete a worksheet, embedded in the plan, on elapsed time. The puzzle they must solve takes some time to complete. One of the tasks each...

Students read "The Magic School Bus in the Human Body" and discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy body. They create a hinge and joint paper skeleton, follow the journey of a hamburger through the digestive tract, jump rope and...

Discover the connection between calories and weight. Pupils multiply their body weight times calorie estimates for various physical activities to calculate calories burned per minute and per hour. Worksheets a well as website links are...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

By engaging in real life examples, learners practice measurement and conversion skills. They review a chart comparing pints, quarts, and gallons. Then, they complete a worksheet involving prices per unit. For example, they calculate how...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, and mode. They develop an understanding and familiarity with these concepts. Students explore mean and median in an efficient way. Students explore three different measures of center.

Learners examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson plan students make biscuits. Learners are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Students review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students learn how to measure length using inch units.  In this measurement lesson, students use two different units of measure to measure the length of a Leopard Shark and then use pattern blocks to measure its length. ...

Fifth graders analyze data from a simple table. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders compare distributions.  Students recognize that the mean helps them find the formula.  Students answer questions on the mean, median, and range.

Students use an activity sheet to construct analogies about possible function of ancient or historic ceramics and compute circumference from a section of a circle as they study measuring pots.

In this perimeter and area lesson, young scholars learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Young scholars define perimeter and area and...

Participate in a class lesson on ratio, rate, and unit rate. Successful usage of this lesson requires the pupils and the teacher have access to the Scott Foresman/Addison Wesley Middle School math text. However, the unit rate problems...

Junior geometers use hands-on manipulatives to explore and describe the properties and attributes of a fundamental polygon, the triangle. They learn different kinds of angles and their measurements. This well-written lesson plan provides...

What a find! Here is a lesson, designed to meet sixth grade math Common Core standards, that focuses on the calculation of different measures of center for the scores from a penalty shoot-out competition. An independent...

Students practice their area and perimeter measurement. In this measurement lesson, students watch a video about perimeter and area. Students measure a gym for perimeter and area. Students write number sentences for the area and...
