Here is a well-designed lesson on common standards of measurement for your young mathematicians. In it, learners calculate measurements in standard and non-standard units. They make predictions, record data, and construct and design...

Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Students will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....

Learners examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring lesson, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Learners discuss the difference between measuring using parts of their body and...

Young mathematicians put one foot in front of the other as they learn how to measure length in an elementary math lesson. Using paper cutouts of their own feet, children measure classroom objects as they discover the importance of...

Looking for a good lesson plan on measurement? This one could be for ytou! Learners select and use appropriate nonstandard units to measure and compare lengths and weights of real-life objects. They use problem-solving skills to design a...

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

How many hands tall are you? Challenge kids to measure themselves the way the 19th century Oklahoma horse traders measured their prize horses (can they guess how many hands tall a horse had to be?). There's some background information...

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

Learners measure using the metric system. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Students research ingredients typically found in cookies. They write recipes for creative cookies, using standard measurements and imaginative ingredients. Students illustrate the ingredients for their recipes and the baked product. They...

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...
