Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

In this surface area of a cube worksheet, students answer short answer questions on how to find the surface area and calculating the equation for different problems. Students answer 7 questions.

Students measure their own silhouette using Unifix cubes. They measure a drawing using non-standard measurement. They swap drawings and compare their measurements.

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

Young scholars investigate non-standard linear measurement.  In this cross curriculum measurement lesson, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is...

Fourth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about temperature--hot and cold. Each group of students is assigned specific materials for their lab experiment. They record temperatures measured in their journals and then plot...

Help your learners understand dividing with fractions by using these methods to solve. Chose from two different number lines or linker cubes.  This practices "how many groups?" style division problems which help them comprehend why...

Did you know in the UK a quart is smaller than in America? This explains why a standard unit of measure is necessary for volume. Young scientists learn the similarities and differences between five different units used to measure volume....

In this geometry worksheet, students draw and calculate the volume of a cube from the given side length measured in metric or customary. There are 8 questions with provided workspace.

Pupils explore the differences between the heights of their family members as they measure, record, and compare the data gathered. Comparisons are made to discover who was the tallest and the shortest member.

Learners calculate the surface area of two cubes given the length of the sides. For the other two diagrams, given the volume of the cube, they determine the measure of the sides. I like the way they move forward and backward with the...

In this math skills worksheet, students answer the 6 questions on the worksheet using various math skills. Students practice counting, adding, drawing, measuring and working with shapes.

Test young mathematicians' knowledge with an assessment aligned to California's fifth grade state standards. The exam covers a multitude of concepts including fractions and decimals, positive and negative numbers, measurement; and...

Combine geometry and algebra concepts to solve a modeling problem. Young scholars consider the effect surface area has on volume. They write a cubic function to model the possible volume given a specific surface area and then...

Master metric measurements. Given the fact that the volume of one milliliter of water is one cubic centimeter, scholars figure out the volume of one liter of water. They must determine the correct unit of length for a unit cube that...

Students explore how to measure length and volume. They compare and order objects according to their measurable attributes and measure items using non-standard units. Students put 4 pencils in order from shortest to longest after...

Students answer the question, What is temperature?  In this temperature lesson, students use hot chocolate and ice cubes to measure temperature with a thermometer (Fahrenheit and Celsius). This lesson includes a student activity...

Learners recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson plan, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

In this measurement instructional activity, students measure volume and capacity by doing 2 activities. Students use a hollow box, cubes, and measuring cups to measure volume and capacity.

Augment your math curriculum with posters detailing several concepts important to second grade math. Each poster features one math term from geometry, measurement, probability and statistics, computation and estimation, numbers and...

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson plan, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.
