Learners calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

Students visit a website that features online interactive geology and biology simulations. They observe and estimate the amplitude of the largest wave and transfer the information to a nomogram. Based on the nomogram students will...

Learners share opinions about importance of milestone events they might host or attend. They then prepare estimated budgets for parties based on established budget totals, and compare their estimates against the real costs.

In this identifying units of measure worksheet, students estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric measurements....

Young scholars estimate measurements in real world problem situations. In this estimation lesson, students read the book Pancakes, Pancakes and estimate how many cups equal a pint, quart, and gallon. Young scholars test their estimations...

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In 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...

Students investigate the factors affecting population growth. In this biology lesson, students collect data from the lab and graph them. They estimate population size using a mathematical formula.

Young scholars estimate the density of a population of insects (grasshoppers) at a given life cycle stage in a given type of habitat.

Learners estimate the amount of money a non-smoking teen spends in a week, a month, and a year, and compare it with the expenses of a teen who smokes one, two, and three packs a day. They research other reasons that teens should not smoke.

Students collect, organize by table, and examine census data in a simulation, estimate the size of the population in the simulation and make predictions based on the collection of census simulation data.

Young scholars study how scientists have estimated the maximum height to which trees can grow, and assess the reliability of interpolation and extrapolation techniques by making predictions with particular data sets and analyzing...

Students estimate and calculate the sale price of five items using the original price and a designated rate of discount. They use percent to calculate the rate of discount and the original.

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...

Young scholars explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In...

Students explore the idea of having Benchmarks to estimate the length of given objects. Students demonstrate acquired knowledge of the basic units of length by making reasonable estimates. Students create a personal benchmark.

Young scholars estimate, measure, and compare the passage of time using minutes, half hours, and hours. They read the book 'It's About Time, Max!' with the teacher and draw an analog clock face. They show the time and 30 minutes later,...

High schoolers estimate how many different species of organisms inhabit the Earth. In groups, they match the pictures of embryos at the different stages of development. They compare and contrast animals from the sky, land, and water...

Students design models to simulate actual events using various random devices. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. In addition, they simulate the births of three children to a using a coin.

Students design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Students explore the concept of rounding. In this rounding lesson, students round fractions and mixed numbers. Students estimate the sums, differences, products, and quotients of rounded fractions and mixed numbers.

Learners discover how fish tagging is used by marine biologists and fisheries to estimate fish populations. Participating in a simulation, learners use estimation to determine the whole population from a small number of items.

In this math activity, student estimate the lengths of a variety of objects. Then, students measure the actual length of each object.

For this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

In this estimation worksheet, 4th graders estimate the sum or difference of 15 math problems. Students write their answers underneath each math problem on the worksheet.
