How do we compare? Get your scholars measuring using this interactive and kinesthetic math activity. First, learners compare something (you announce- could be index finger, palm, feet, etc.) to classmates. Consider having them record...

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Students measure stuffed animals with various materials such as dog biscuits, paper clips, and yarn. In this measurement lesson, students measure the stuffed animals, and understand the concept of long and short and big and little.

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...

Students recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

Students explore the concept of equivalence as it relates to comparing concrete objects to determine greater or lesser attributes such as length and weight. In this pan balance-shapes instructional activity, students make estimations...

Young scholars explore things that are their size, literally. For this early childhood lesson plan, students use their bodies for measuring and comparing sizes as they work in pairs to complete the activity.

Students practice measuring items with non standard units. In this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

Students explore weight. In this math lesson plan, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Learners solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

Students solve problems using mathematical skills. For this math lesson, the students use math concepts, to design a virtual path for a ladybug. The students will reinforce their skills in algebra and geometry concepts.

Students use number lines to compare differences. In this math lesson, students use a number line to solve problems. Students predict differences and answer puzzles using subtraction.

Students determine differences using a number line. In this math lesson, students use the number line to solve subtraction problems. Students solve puzzles using subtraction.

Pupils study rectangles. In this math instructional activity, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students identify shapes that are squares. In this square lesson, students identify the square items and then sing songs about squares.

This lesson requires a worksheet that is not connected. It is integral to the lesson.

Students follow a pattern. In this sorting lesson, students are given various objects and they must sort them from smallest to largest.

Students work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles lesson, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...

Animal Fun is here! In this week's adventure, Animal Measurement, children will explore measurement with the help of hermit crabs (investigating size correspondence by matching a hermit crab to its appropriate shell), beavers (visual...

This lesson is a hands-on, cross-curricular lesson for exploring non-standard measurement. It utilizes children's literature, manipulatives, opportunities for writing, and small group collaborative learning. Students will meaningfully...

Students will learn how to order items by length. They will use plastic toy animals for hands-on learning and then students will locate pictures of animals of various lengths and sizes in their natural habitat on the Internet. They will...

This activity gives the students the opportunity to see what an inch really looks like. It also provides them with a chance to be creative using various inch materials and to create a visual for what an inch is. It is a great lesson to...

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Students use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Students group beans...
