As Mia and RJ discuss measurement, your class is introduced to the customary and metric systems for measuring mass, capacity, weight, and length. Temperature scales are also introduced. This resource can help set the foundation for later...

Learners construct their understanding of measurement and dimensions in this step-by-step approach that begins with an all group vocabulary introduction, consisting of measuring objects and dialoging using measurement vocabulary....

Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

Get second graders outside to estimate and measure how long 800 meters is on their school campus. They then measure the actual distance in yards to see how close their estimate was. An interesting teaching idea!

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement lesson, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them.  Students...

Customers often want ribbon around fancy cakes, but how does a baker know how much ribbon to buy? Scholars view a cake with multiple layers in different geometric shapes. They must figure the perimeter and circumference and add them...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Second graders identify shapes and measurements in everyday life.  In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders locate rectangles in their classroom and use standard and nonstandard forms to measure them.  Students view a video clip...

Student explore estimation and measurement. In this measurement activity, 2nd graders measure french fries, graph their data, and determine the size of french fries that is the best value. Students practice how to add prices and...

Fourth graders watch a video and find the circumference of a pumpkin. In this circumference lesson, 4th graders watch a video to help them find the circumference of their pumpkins. Students define the word circumference on their data...

In this mathematics lesson, 3rd graders estimate how many pancake tortoises they think it will take to reach the height of a giraffe.  Students watch a video and take notes before they begin the estimation process
