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

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

In this heaviest object learning exercise, students look at the pictures to determine which one is the heaviest. Students complete 2 multiple choice problems.

Students sort a bag of M&M candies according to color using a sorting mat. They count M&M candies. They compare the number to their prediction then students create tally charts.

Students are read a book about ladybugs. Using the test, they estimate which page shows the longest trip the ladybug made. They assemble their own ladybug book by following directions on a worksheet. They take measurements on each...

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

In this grid worksheet, students measure objects and color in boxes that make the appropriate length. The grid can also be used for graphing activities. The grid is 7 inches wide and 8 inches high.

Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

Students solve problems using various strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. Students make fish swimming patterns, measure how many goldfish crackers it takes to make a handprint and...

Students utilize a computer spreadsheet to record and analyze data. In this problem solving lesson, students compare their hand size to that of the principal. Students understand standard and nonstandard measurement.

Young scholars utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson plan, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Young scholars measure the speed of the robots by...

Students measure the perimeter of a square and create squares with specific perimeters in this lesson for the early-elementary classroom. The lesson includes templates for AppleWorks, Inspiration, and Kidspiration educational software.

Students practice counting and comparing objects.  In this math lesson, students view a Count on It! episode. Students examine the value of what they are counting.  Students estimate number in groups of items.  Students...

Students define pitch, measure varying amounts of water into containers, make predictions about the sounds made when striking the containers, put containers in order from highest to lowest pitch, and create their own sound patterns with...

Although this is a science lesson, it can be adapted to help meet Common Core standards in math as well. Starting scientists describe physical properties of objects and explore three forms of water. To address the Common Core, they can...

Demonstrate how to read analog and digital clocks to the hour in this time measurement lesson. Read the book What Time is it Mr. Crocodile? and use Mr. Crocodile's schedule to practice telling time. They work in cooperative groups to...

Students compare and order objects according to length. They see that to conserve length, meaning that the length of an object is not altered by a change in its spatial position, even though it may appear to look longer or shorter than...

Young scholars study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Young scholars discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect...

Which is heavier, a ladybug or a ship? Learners will have fun with this weight comparison worksheet, that uses visuals to help them determine which is heavier or lighter. They complete two comparisons for each. Lastly, they examine four...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

How very clever. No need to monkey around with this resource. Rob Cleveland's version of the West African tale, "The Clever Monkey Rides Again," is used as the basis for multiple of cross-curricular activities including exercises...

Students complete a variety of activities related to the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty." They break a real egg and try to put it back together, and complete a class word web. Students also complete egg measurement activities and create...

Bring out the inner artist with this Abraham Lincoln lesson plan. Elementary students work on a home project creating a hat similar to Abraham Lincoln's hat. They will use geometry and measurement to create the scale of the hat, then...
