How long is your hand span? Young mathematicians measure their hand span from pinky tip to thumb tip using a centimeter ruler. After rounding to the nearest whole centimeter, learners plot their data on a line plot.

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.

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

Young mathematicians demonstrate what they know about measurement with a four-task assessment that focuses on estimation, length, and inches.

Tests mathematicians' knowledge of decimals, place value, and rounding with a five-question interactive. A tool with movable parts assists scholars in answering questions—multiple-choice and true or false.  A discussion question...

An interactive challenges mathematicians to round large numbers with help from a large scale that measures the weight of a blue whale. The practie's five questions include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true or false, and an open...

Rounding fractions is the focus of a six-question interactive designed to boost concept proficiency. A measured beaker's water level increases and decreases as mathematicians move the tool to represent specific fractions. Questions...

Students participate in a measuring scavenger hunt. Students choose items around the room to estimate and measure. Students try measuring with their hands and compare with other students who did the same. Students discuss why their...

Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your learners.

Students explore measurement and estimation with non-standard units. In this measurement lesson plan, students discuss items that could be used to measure; they use tooth picks to measure specific items around the classroom, both...

In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines for each measurement. Then they measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students also use a ruler, a measuring tape, and measure small items and longer items.

Don't be obtuse, this geometry unit is the just the right resource for educating the acute young minds in your class. From classifying and measuring angles, to determining the congruence of shapes, this...

Sixth graders investigate metric measurements. In this metric measurement lesson, 6th graders explore mass, capacity, and length. Students examine graduated cylinders and balance scales to obtain measurements. Resources are provided.

Third graders create a table in order to record estimations and measurements of objects. In this estimation and measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders estimate and measure object's lengths, area, weight, and capacity.

Assess scholars' knowledge with a 22-page assessment that covers place value, patterns, probability, estimation, measurement, geometric figures; and their ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide proficiently. 

Test young mathematicians' knowledge with an assessment aligned to California's fifth grade state standards. The exam covers a multitude of concepts including fractions and decimals, positive and negative numbers, measurement; and...

A six-question interactive tasks mathematicians to solve addition and subtraction problems using front-end estimation. Question types consist of multiple-choice and true or false. A set of wooden beams that can be measured using moveable...

A 33-page packet focuses on fifth-grade math concepts. Learners practice rounding numbers to the hundred thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, hundredths, thousandths, and hundred thousandths. They also compare whole...

Students explore angle estimation and measurement. In this angle activity, students define obtuse, acute, and right angles, and practice measuring angles using a protractor. Students participate in an online angle estimation activity.

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Fifth graders explore the three types of angles. In this math lesson, 5th graders estimate the measure of angles and draw the angles using a protractor.

High schoolers identify rectangular volume calculations, and calculate using formula, concrete table, and calculator.

Do you know how old you are in seconds, minutes, days, weeks, or months? This intriguing question is presented as a way for learners to estimate in units of time. They'll build a better sense of what each increment of time is as they...
