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...

A set of ten skill-based problems and two word problems make up a metric worksheet in which measuring length and converting units of measurement is the focus.

How many millimeters are in 10 meters? Which is greater: two centimeters or 30 millimeters? These are the types of questions learners can solve, along with one word problem, in a six-sectioned measurement brochure.

Here is a good lesson which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and nonstandard...

Investigate the length of various objects in metrics! In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders estimate and find the length of objects in the classroom using centimeters.

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.

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.

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! For this measurement lesson, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

Learners measure objects in the classroom. In this measurement activity, students compare items using their height, use paper clips to measure things and record their findings.

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. For this measuring lesson, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches to...

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length lesson, 5th graders examine several household items and must decide if they want to use a pencil width, piece of paper, or their thumb to measure the item....

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

Reinforce math vocabulary instruction with a set of flash cards. Fifty-six cards offer either a bold-face word or a picture representation equipped with descriptive labels. Terms include centimeters, gallons, square units, and more!...

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

Students convert metric units of length, specifically meters, centimeters, and millimeters. In this activity of converting measurements, students participate in various games which require them to put the measurements in order or...

Students measure shells using 3 different methods.  In this measurement lesson, students work in two groups to measure the length of a shell using two different units of measure.  The groups compare their results, measure the...

First graders discover that there are two types of standard measurement using a ruler: centimeters and inches. They use the inches side to measure pipe cleaner "worms"; straigthening them out and laying them on the end of the ruler with...

Second graders measure classroom objects using metric and English rulers to find object which meet preset lengths given to each small group. The group draws pictures of the objects they found meeting their preset limits and present them...

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 use the correct tool to measure distances. In this geometry lesson, students use an odometer and ruler correctly as they study maps. They describe how far way something is.

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