Students practice counting and comparing objects.  In this math lesson, students view a Count on It! episode. Students examine the value of what they are counting.  Students estimate number in groups of items.  Students...

In this customary length activity, students solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

In this SI units learning exercise, students solve 6 problems including converting from one unit of measurement in the metric system to another, estimating the mass of objects, and using the density of a metal to find its volume given...

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...

In this online, interactive worksheet, 6th graders complete a pre-test regarding volume.  Students complete 10 multiple choice questions and click at the bottom of the page to check their answers.    

Fifth graders, after being given a variety of word problems to solve, find patterns to solving 3 out of 4 times. They break it down into smaller parts 3 out of 4 times and tell the method of solving 3 out of 4 times. Students complete...

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students engage in a the estimation of volume for household containers and focus upon the usage of the metric system. They practice identifying the shapes that seem familiar and match shapes with quantities. Students interact with others...

Students study sea turtles and the concept of temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Using a specific set of temperature data, they determine the probable sex of a nest of sea turtle hatchlings and then determine the overall...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students estimate lengths of items in centimeters, then use rulers to check estimates.

In this mathematics worksheet, students read the table that shows the answer to the cost per kilogram when 3.678 kg of a product costs $14.89 rounded to the nearest cent. They complete the table and round where necessary for each problem.

Learners explore the concept of estimating and organizing a group of objects into an array to count the exact number of items. They create their own arrays and practice elements of estimation.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of floating point arithmetic. They compare the tools of chopping and rounding to measure accuracy.

In this end of the year math test worksheet, 4th graders complete problems including addition, division, measurement, decimals, and more. Students complete 22 problems. 

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students practice estimating distance traveled while walking. Also can be used to introduce backpacking/hiking or as a daily warm-up. Measure the blacktop/cafeteria/playground, then determine how many times around make a mile.

Students are introduced to the solar system and its place in the universe. They begin to grasp the idea of very large numbers by estimating and computing how long it take the class to make a million x's.

Middle schoolers practice estimating and graphing by utilizing Skittles.  In this statistics lesson, students complete worksheets based on the likelihood of a certain color of skittle coming out of the bag.  Middle schoolers...

Pupils complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

Students create a reading nook. In this measurement lesson, students find a spot in the classroom to turn into a reading nook. They need to measure how much space they need to fit students and supplies into their nook. 

Students explore estimation. They estimate distance, weight, temperature and elapsed time. Students record their estimates and justify their estimations wtih a written response. After estimating, students take the actual measurements of...

Students participate in a lesson designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity. Proper safety...
