Second graders practice vocabulary related to measurement, mathematics, and dinosaurs. Using the engaging topic of dinosaurs, learners will calculate various information about dinosaurs and use measurement vocabulary. They will also...

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  For this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

Students role play as paleontologists who make inferences about the weight of dinosaurs. They use models and the density of water to make these inferences.

In this science and math worksheet, 5th graders answer four different questions related to dinosaurs. They graph the information with data located at a given website.

Compare sizes of student footprints with those of elephants and sauropod dinosaurs! Upper graders make estimations of the areas of irregular shapes; students use grids to make and explain estimates within low and high ranges.

Solve and complete 18 problems about angles. First,  demonstrate that each conjecture is false by giving a counterexample. Then write the inverse, contrapositive, and converse for the each statement. In addition, write a...

Although the graphics on this length comparison exercise aren't great, pupils will get the idea. They read an indirect length word problem, which asks them to compare three animals from shortest to tallest. The wording here may be...

Students calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Third graders gain an understanding of estimation as an educated guess. They explore measuring and how looking at various object size and shape can help form ones guess towards estimation. They use dinosaurs for an estimation activity.

Students investigate their tracks to determine the number of footsteps it takes to travel the entire length of their bodies. Then they determine the taller of two children and the shorter of two children with their tracks. Students also...

Students comprehend the basic units of measurement, scale, plotting, and basic grids. Students practice their estimation and measuring skills and will demonstrate their ability to work well in groups.

Ninth graders explore the concept of ratios. In this ratio activity, 9th graders construct a to scale time line that starts at the beginning of time. Students determine the correct placement of big events in time such as when the...

  Your archaeologists combine proportional reasoning with exponential functions in a real-life task centered on Carbon 14 dating.          

Students calculate the stride length of a walking or running animal. They use scale models of dinosaurs to calculate the leg and stride length of the animals.

Pupils discover how to estimate the age of redwood trees. They measure the trees' diameters by using string to calculate the circumferences. Students conclude by discussing the science of dendrochronolgy.

In this estimation with weight and volume worksheet, 5th graders solve and complete 6 problems that include estimating objects. First, they determine which item illustrated weighs more. Then, students determine which figure illustrated...

For this math worksheet, students solve 4 story problems which pertain to Halloween. Students estimate, calculate prices, and convert liquid measures to solve these problems.

Animal Fun is here! In this week's adventure, Animal Measurement, children will explore measurement with the help of hermit crabs (investigating size correspondence by matching a hermit crab to its appropriate shell), beavers (visual...

First Graders need to use direct and indirect comparisons to measure objects. Today they will use their new knowledge of dinosaurs to find the longest of the giant lizards.

Students can play learning games to explore how to label, read, and create graphs using a dinosaur theme.

Students will play learning games to explore area and perimeter and how to solve for each.

In this distance game pass the pine cone to the right teammate and help the Claw Stars get down the field! Use a ruler to figure out where to throw the pine cone.

The purpose of this task is to illustrate through an absurd example the fact that in real life quantities are reported to a certain level of accuracy, and it does not make sense to treat them as having greater accuracy. Aligns with N-Q.A.3.
