Measurement, Perimeter and Area
Learners explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements. Learners cut squares...
Curated OER
Team Puzzles
Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.
Curated OER
How Do You Measure Up?
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.
Curated OER
Leaping!
Students properly leap and measure their distance. For this leaping lesson, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the entire...
