Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Students practice working with the metric system. Students use a metric ruler to measure and record lengths of group member's smiles, and graph their results. Students find the sum of all the smiles.

Students take measurements using a metric ruler, find a sum of multiple metric measurements, and use a histogram to graph their results.

Students practice estimating and counting and using a ruler to measure distance.

Learners accurately use a metric ruler to measure length. They find a sum of multiple metric measurements.

Students measure their shadows early in the morning, record direction of shadow, make marks in ground with chalk or tape, measure with ruler, and record results. Students repeat process at noon, and then later in afternoon. Students...

Young scholars examine why having standardized units of measurement is important. They investigate the use of non-standard measure, twigs, while measuring the piece of tape. Next, they experiment with straws, paper clips, and rulers...
