Which unit of measurement would you use? As your scholars begin to understand measuring, it's important they become familiar with the various units. They examine five object images and match them to one of five units: meters,...

In this measuring by hand activity, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

In this measurement activity, students study the illustrated image and estimate how long the object is. Students circle the answer that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

In this length worksheet, students estimate how long each objects is in the 9 examples. Students then circle the answer that gives the best estimate.

In this college level geometry worksheet, students convert between degrees and radians.  Students determine arc length and solve problems involving the area of a sector.  The four page worksheet contains seventy-four...

Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

In this science worksheet, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of significant figures in...

Students measure different parts of the human body. In this measurement lesson, students work in pairs to take measurements of human measurements which include: arm span, height, foot length, and wrist to longest finger. They also...

Elementary schoolers learn about metric units and how they are used by engineers. They learn how engineers use the units to measure mass, distance, and volume. Then, they estimate measurements of units, and compare them to actual...

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

Customers often want ribbon around fancy cakes, but how does a baker know how much ribbon to buy? Scholars view a cake with multiple layers in different geometric shapes. They must figure the perimeter and circumference and add them...

Pupils learn the steps for basic constructions using a straightedge, a compass, and a pencil. Pairs develop the skills to copy a segment and an angle, bisect a segment and an angle, and construct parallel and perpendicular lines.

Help your class members learn how to use their income wisely with a comprehensive lesson plan on calculating monthly car payments. Using basic math skills and online calculators, your learners will determine the total amount to be...

In this math activity, students fill in the graphic organizer for the measurements and area of several different types of living spaces.

Fourth graders practice measuring items with unconventional methods.  In this measurement prediction lesson, 4th graders estimate the length of items a teacher brings to class and record their predictions.  Students measure the...

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Students describe the differences between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on comparison and activities. Students explain how estimation is helpful in showing the relative size on a scale. They also...

Fifth graders explore the three types of angles. In this math instructional activity, 5th graders estimate the measure of angles and draw the angles using a protractor.

Students analyze timber and use measuring techniques to figure board feet.  In this investigative lesson students learn why accurate measurements are important and how to convert standing timber to board feet. 

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

For this circumference measurement worksheet, students make a plan for measuring around objects. Students estimate and then measure around a trash basket and pencil holder. Students write if it is easier to measure around an object or a...

Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.
