Children begin by making direct comparisons between objects and putting a number of objects into order according to length. They are also introduced to measuring with multi-link cubes which allows them to compare objects which cannot be...

Students complete activities to study the frost and frost depth. In this frost study lesson, students use frost tubes to study and measure the frost at their school. Students measure the frost in the tube and enter their data online to...

Pupils calculate actual building measurements from a village map using concepts of ratios and scale in this ten lesson mini-unit. They practice measuring angles, multiplying decimals, estimating height and length, and converting metric...

Students measure the amount of surface tension using a balance scale after a classroom demonstration students diagram the appearance of several liquids and label them.

Hooray for chocolate chip cookies! Ask your mathematicians to triple a chocolate chip cookie recipe and then reduce the recipe by one-fourth. Your class may need two days to complete, tripling the recipe the first day and reducing the...

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

In this pounds and ounces activity, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

Third graders round numbers between 0 and 1000 to the nearest 10 and to the nearest 100.

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson plan, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Students collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra instructional activity, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze...

Students observe and sort tree leaves. In this plant biology lesson plan, students observe various types of leaves and identify the characteristics of each leaf. Students measure and sort leaves according to size and color.

Students read a thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with temperature changes and keep a record of daily temperature.

In this number sense worksheet, students examine the picture and estimate the number of ants in the picture.

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...

Rescue animals in the zoo by applying math concepts. Groups of learners solve three missions involving oxygen, food, and climate control. Each group selects an animal from one of four bio-domes.

Kids use their hands, bodies, and voices to explore the musical concept of a round. They say vegetable words while stomping and clapping out a rhythm in unison and then in a round. They then sing a round while maintaining a steady beat....

In this customary length worksheet, students solve 5 multiple choice problems where they must choose the better estimate of customary length. Students then answer 9 fill in the blank problems and 1 word problem, where they must convert...

In this statistics lesson, learners use an on-line form generator create a class-specific form, then complete the form, view a graph and data analysis, and draw conclusions.

Whales are all big, but some are larger than others! Kids will love sorting the 10 whale species by size at their desk (whale cut-outs provided). Next, use a whale rope to visualize how long each of these whales actually is. A large...

Students discover the need for a universal measurement system. They practice using basic metric units in measuring distance and weight.
