All About Me
Third graders investigate the use of centimeters while measuring items with rulers which they construct. They examine the need for standard units of measure. They estimate the length of body parts before making the actual measurements.

A Fashion Extravaganza
Learners decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

Prints and Outlines
Learners determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.

How much room?
Students examine the amount of usable space that exists in their classroom using square meters and square centimeters. They apply the information to predict the ideal size of a classroom.
Curated OER
Houses
Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Visiting Grandma
First graders investigate the aspect of time, including days of the week using a calendar. They use problem solving strategies and a monthly calendar to find a solution to the problem.
Curated OER
Weights
Students find an object that they estimate weighs 20g and check estimates on the balance scales. They read the problem and work in pairs focusing their understanding on the size of grams.
Curated OER
A thousand seconds
Pupils use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

How Many Strips?
Second graders investigate the measurement of 1 meter. They predict and measure how many strips of paper it takes to make exactly one meter. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to solve the problem.
Curated OER
Measurement
Students use arithmetic in a practical situation using time and distance.
As the calculations involved in this problem involve single digit addition and multiplication it offers a good opportunity to encourage the students's use of...

Parking Meters
Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Garry The Greengrocer
Fourth graders are introduced to the problem by weighing objects on the balance scales. Use weights in both pans. (If you don't have access to scales use 2 containers and a child acting as the balance.) They then listen to the problem...

Adam's Watch
Third graders use their watches to tell the time while the teacher lists their responses on the board along with the reasons for them (set incorrectly, gain/lose time). They solve the problem in pairs and focus their thinking on the...

Investigating Soil
Fourth graders swap local soil samples with another school and examine the differences. They research soil properties, identify organisms that live in soil, create and maintain a biome of soil decomposition and design a poster to present...
Curated OER
Paper Packaging Design
Learners discuss the relationship between technology and manufacturing. They then use their ideas to construct a model of a paper board carton package. Next they view a PowerPoint presentation to learn about the history of packaging...

Mother May I?
Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...
