Learners listen to story, "The 100-Pound Problem," compare their weight with character in story, and weigh different classroom items using nonstandard units and standard units. They experiment with different items that can make scale...

Students examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring lesson, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Students discuss the difference between measuring using parts of their body and...

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 create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson plan, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the...

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video shows how to use visual objects and numeric units of measure in order to determine the longest and shortest lengths of measure. The video is followed by...

Students learn how to measure length using US Standard Units. Practice problems are included.

Unit reasoning helps us make sense of measurements by converting between measurement units and making reasonable estimates. For the Praxis test, we need to know common measurement units for length, time, volume, and mass, as well as how...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video describes how to determine distance traveled using a symbol map, and convert between different units of measurement. The video is followed by additional...

This resource allows students to practice converting metric or customary units of length. Students are able to select parameters that include metric or customary units and difficulty level. There are ten problems with instant feedback...

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of measuring length using the Customary System. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page...

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video describes how to divide length using a word problem. The video is followed by practice problems to assess student understanding of the concept.
