Students use estimation and fractions and standard units of measure to measure foot strips.

Students measure the circumference of an object to the nearest millimeter. They also measure the diameter. The relationship of the two measurements is taught and how the value of pi came into existence.

Students investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.

Students brainstorm several animal/personal scenarios, select one, and write out an explanation of the comparison. They apply the measurements/characteristics to themselves and use algebraic equations to demonstrate the comparison.

Seventh graders experiment with measurement as it relates to the algorithm for dividing fractions. In this fractions lesson, 7th graders work in groups to establish how many post-it notes it takes to fill an 8 X 11 piece of paper. Using...

Students create a design for a school garden. In this garden design instructional activity, students analyze what plants grow best in their school's climate and work in teams to design a garden. Students measure the existing space,...

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

Students collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Students will measure common everyday objects in order to calculate pi. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure the circumference and diameters of objects and fill them into a chart which helps them calculate pi.

Middle schoolers use bearing measurements to triangulate and determine objects' locations. Working in teams of two or three, students must put on their investigative hats as they take bearing measurements to specified landmarks in their...

Students create a spreadsheet to record information about circular objects. They measure and record information from a variety of objects. Students calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each object. They find the...

Students complete an experiment in which they measure the radon level in their home. They examine the different types of units of measurement and practice using them throughout the activity. They calculate surface area on objects as well.

Learners use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Middle schoolers measure the dimensions of different sizes of paper. Using a copy machine, they discover dilations. After enlarging and shrinking particular copies, students examine rates, ratios and percentages and discover the...

Students study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to...

Students explore measurements.

Students examine the major changes Qin accomplished as emperor. They look at his steps to unify China, create a money standard, measurement standards, and a system of bureaucracy.

Seventh graders groups measure the diameter and circumference of each of the circular objects in the room. They record their results on their student worksheets and access a computer spreadsheet program to compile their results.

Seventh graders practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and the natural history of the east Texas Piney Woods. They utilize worksheets and websites imbedded in this plan.

Seventh graders view overhead maps of Texas, explore history of Aldrige Sawmill, and practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and natural history of east Texas Piney Woods.

Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.

Students use a ruler to determine length and then fit the unit to a scale in miles. This unit will also give a geological awareness of altitude and the difference it makes in travel time. The travel time with Mapquest will obviously be...
