Eighth graders explore the term capacity and understand the word's meaning. They participate in several lab stations set up around the room in which they will estimate how many scoops it will take to fill the container. They then will...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the results...

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students learn how to measure volume using US Standard Units. A definitions, examples, and practice problems are included.

Practice US customary length, volume, and mass problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

Students can practice converting customary volume units through a series of self-check exercises and learning games.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...
