Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

Teach the masses about the metric system with this hands-on measurement lesson. Given a fruit or vegetable, learners estimate, measure, and convert its mass using the metric units gram and kilogram.

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length lesson plan, 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...

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...

Learners use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a plane,...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Learners, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Middle schoolers practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio...

Young scholars investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students explore engineering by participating in a mechanical class activity. In this simple machines lesson, students identify many simple machines that allow them to perform tasks easily each day. Students collaborate in small groups...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of...

Students create packages with a maximum capacity. For this geometry lesson ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

Students explore weight. In this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Set up stations around your science lab to introduce youngsters to different equipment. They examine a beaker, graduated cylinder, ruler, balance, and thermometer. The said worksheet is not included, but you will find a few useful tips...

Third graders study partial-products algorithms. In this math lesson, 3rd graders use an algorithm to find the product of factors. Students discuss the relationships between multiplication and division.

Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.
