Fourth graders are introduced to the various types of measurements. Using a recipe, they practice measuring out the correct amount of ingredients while making the food. They also practice using a scale and following the directions on a...

Students participate in a measuring scavenger hunt. Students choose items around the room to estimate and measure. Students try measuring with their hands and compare with other students who did the same. Students discuss why their...

Young scholars measure angles, perimeter, area and volume. In this geometry lesson, students define different ways to measure and solve for the perimeter, area and volume of geometric shapes. They analyze and process information to help...

Several subjects are addressed within the context of a science lesson plan about the sun's ultraviolet rays. Elementary earth scientists consider protection of the skin with sunscreens (health), estimating and measuring surface area or...

Students estimate the circumference of a pumpkin. They measure the pumpkin and other school objects, and record the measurements on worksheets.

Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your young scholars.

Students explore measurement and estimation with non-standard units. In this measurement lesson plan, students discuss items that could be used to measure; they use tooth picks to measure specific items around the classroom, both...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Learners use their feet to measure distance between themselves and a tree trunk.  In this distance lesson, students use the number of steps, and string to measure distances and height of the tree.  Learners can get the tree...

Help young scientists connect with nature and learn about trees with a fun life science lesson. Heading out into the school yard, children choose a tree to adopt, taking measurements, writing descriptions, and drawing sketches of it in...

Without measuring, can estimators determine which string is the longest? The shortest? There are two sets of strings here for learners to evaluate, circling the shortest in the first set and the longest in the second. Next, they eyeball...

Estimating Errors in Chemistry is a detailed handout that illustrates the importance of calculating the percent error when working in the chemistry lab. There are no actual problems to solve, just notes and examples of calculations. Hand...

Would you rather have a million dollars or 1 x 10^6 dollars? To find the answer to this question, class members first complete an assessment task converting numbers between decimal notation and scientific notation. They then take...

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

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement lesson, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them.  Students...

In this estimating area worksheet, students work with their families to draw four small objects found around their house and estimate the area of each object. 

Students become familiar with how to get information from the Internet. In this math and technology lesson plan, students measure objects on a measurement sheet found on a web site. They practice using a standard unit of measurement...

Use this resource to teach perimeter of regular plane shapes, measurement, rounding, and systematic problem solving skills. There are 78 complete slides and two game suggestions intended to facilitate content understanding.

Third graders investigate liquid measurements by estimating how many cups it takes to fill containers. The students predict the liquid measurements and then find the actual amount using the water in a bucket. Students then compare...

In this estimating and measuring angles review learning exercise, students use their math skills to solve 6 problems that require them to estimate and measure each of the 6 angles.

In this measuring instructional activity, students practice measuring length to the nearest inch by first estimating and then measuring the illustrated objects. In the second set, students use a ruler to measure the given lengths and...

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify that the spiders each used a different angle to create their webs. Then they find out each spider's angle by estimating and measuring.
