Students identify rectangular volume calculations, and calculate using formula, concrete table, and calculator.

Do you know how old you are in seconds, minutes, days, weeks, or months? This intriguing question is presented as a way for learners to estimate in units of time. They'll build a better sense of what each increment of time is as they...

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this instructional activity, where students crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the...

Use pumpkins of various sizes to experiment with weight and perimeter. First the class lifts the pumpkins one by one, estimating each pumpkin's weight. They arrange the pumpkins from lightest to heaviest, and then string weigh each one...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This...

Learners estimate heights and lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the length and height of various objects using non-traditional tools of measurement. This lesson also includes a video clip on measurement.

In this angles of elevation and depression activity, 10th graders solve 4 word problems that are related to determining the angles of elevation and depression. First, they define angle of elevation and angle of depression as used in the...

In this metric measurement of length instructional activity, students answer six questions about estimating, definition and use of a ruler.

For this estimating measurements worksheet, learners solve 15 real life application problems. Students estimate heights and sizes of objects and figure out if estimated numbers are reasonable. This page is intended to be an online...

Elementary-aged scientists discover that all matter has mass. They are shown the difference between mass and weight, and learn how to calculate mass using the appropriate tools and methods. The scientific method is used while estimating...

Junior designers brainstorm the elements that a bedroom might have, such as a bed, television, and dresser. They identify which items are needs and which are desires. They practice measurement skills in the classroom by determining its...

Here is a nice instructional activity, which includes some good worksheets, on pumpkins and how they grow. It is an ESL instructional activity designed for beginning and early intermediate students. After listening to some books about...

Via the concrete setting of estimating the population of the US, your algebra learners are introduced to a logistic growth model. Comparing and contrasting logistic, exponential, linear and quadratic models, to see which fits the data...

A fermi number is a rough estimate of a quantity that is difficult or impossible to measure. Individuals design a process for making an estimation of a given scenario. For example, they determine a plan for estimating the number of...

The humble soda can gets the geometric treatment in an activity that links math and science calculations. After a few basic assumptions are made and discussed, surface area calculations combine with density information to develop an...

Practice makes perfect and perfecting those trigonometric functions are vital in trigonometry. The task requires evaluating cosine and sine values at common degree measures before looking at the results. Is there a pattern when the...

Is 0.56 stronger than -0.78? Interpret the correlation coefficient as the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. An algebra lesson introduces the correlation coefficient by estimating and then...

Through a series of problems, learners determine the variability of a data set by looking at the deviations from the mean. Estimating means of larger data sets presented in histograms and providing a way to calculate an...

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

In this assessment worksheet, 3rd graders complete eight pages of math assessment. Students solve problems related to money and a bar graph. Students solve word problems involving rounding and computation.

Third graders get into groups of two. Next, give each student a piece of butcher paper that is long enough for them to trace their entire body. One person lies down while their partner traces the outline of their body. Upon completion,...

Learners are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.
