Kindergarteners put Cheerios or cheddar fish on two number lines (up to 10 each) and identify which number the snack pieces indicate. They compare numbers after eating a few of each snack, and get an introduction to addition and...

Students explore the idea of having Benchmarks to estimate the length of given objects. Students demonstrate acquired knowledge of the basic units of length by making reasonable estimates. Students create a personal benchmark.

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Linear measurement is the focus of this math instructional activity. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

This worm might be long, but can scholars draw an even longer worm? Focus on relative size as they draw a longer worm and then a longer necklace. Next, youngsters examine two sets of objects and check off the longest in an introduction...

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

Students explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

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...

Learners explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Review the difference between rocks and minerals using this resource. Learners identify and investigate the physical properties of these objects. They create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast types of rocks. This is a motivating way...

In this math learning exercise, students are shown a variety of objects such as a bridge, a chair, a couch, and etc... Students are asked to look at the objects and determine which is the longest, narrowest, shortest, and etc...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Second graders practice measuring length and width of objects in inches. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use a ruler to measure the length and width of a chair, desk, and book. Students view a video, "Math Investigations II," to...

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

For this numbering objects from longest to shortest worksheet, students compare three objects in sets and number them from longest to shortest lengths. Students write 8 answers.

Although this is a science lesson, it can be adapted to help meet Common Core standards in math as well. Starting scientists describe physical properties of objects and explore three forms of water. To address the Common Core, they can...

Fourth graders define the term matter. They compare properties of solids, liquids, and gases. They describe how matter changes from one state to another. They classify objects as either solid, liquid, or gas.

In this comparing weight math worksheet, students use their problem solving skills as they examine 10 sets of objects and order them from lightest to heaviest.

In this comparing weight math worksheet, learners use their problem solving skills as they examine 12 pairs of objects and identify the lighter objects in each pair.

First graders follow directions when sorting objects. They illustrate how objects are categorized by drawing at least two of the categories that they sorted the objects into. Students work in small groups at completing the task of...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders read each word problem and follow its instructions. They identify shorter and taller and compare certain objects to each other.

Students practice compare and contrast skills. In this science and language development lesson, students complete a T chart generating traits of a snail and a clam. Students complete a related worksheet.

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.
