Second graders examine the metric system. In this metric system lesson plan, 2nd graders compare measurements of common objects in metric units. Students compete in a garden scavenger hunt.

Students measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement activity, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Students learn a mnemonic to assist in...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

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

Learners investigate measurement.  In this fifth/sixth grade mathematics activity, students explore the relationship between inches and centimeters.  Learners measure their height in inches or centimeters and convert the...

Students measure their body. In this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  In this measurement instructional activity students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Learners choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Students explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Students calculate the average measurements of the class.

Students experience measuring things without the system of inches or millimeters. They utilize a ruler to measure or a body part to measure at least three body parts such as your ear height, finger length of foot width. Students...

Students estimate the thickness of coins. In this stack up lesson, students stack pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They calculate and record the thickness of each coin. Students stack coins and estimate the height of the stack.

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Eighth graders measure height and shadow length of other students on a sunny day and develop a ratio. They apply the ratio to other students and objects using shadows to determine height.

Twelfth graders apply estimation techniques to determine how high any one basketball player can jump.

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Young scholars create a bar graph from...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English and...

Students discover that proportions are made up of equal ratios each containing the same building blocks. They, using the Internet, apply their knowledge of direct relationships and proportions to problems in planetary science.

Learners discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Young scholars practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.
