How do you find the lengths of items that cannot be directly measured? The 13th installment in a series of 16 has pupils use the similarity content learned in an earlier resource to solve real-world problems. Class members determine...

Even though there is a wide variety of different triangles in the world, knowing a single equation allows us to find the area of each and every one of them. Follow along with this step-by-step presentation as Zoe clearly models how to...

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

On this measurement hanodout, individuals review how to make conversions with customary units of length. They make conversions, compare lengths, and reason which unit of measure they would use for given items. To conclude the assignment,...

A fun activity is presented in this math worksheet. Youngsters mark off seven of their footlengths, then perform other measurements of their bodies to see if there are any correllations. Students discover that, for many of them, their...

Use a West African folktale to practice several different skills in your first grade classroom. Learners read The Clever Monkey Rides Again and focus on rhyming words, reading comprehension, measurement, art, movement, and word...

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

High schoolers use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  High schoolers find the...

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Young scholars use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object...

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Studets practice problem solving and comparison of quantities, ratios and prproportions. They develop a plan for determining the height of a flagpole complete with drawings and calculations. In addition, they complete a written...

Students explore measurement comparisons of taller and shorter. They examine a picture and order the picture's elements from shortest to tallest. Afterwards, they draw themselves and other items shorter or taller than welements in the...

For this measurement worksheet, students write 4 questions that can be answered by making measurements. Students also use estimate the measurement for 4 given objects.

Young scholars explore characteristics of mass. In this scientific inquiry about mass lesson plan, students drop rocks of different weights from various heights and record the depth of the "crater" created.  Young scholars record...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

In this size comparison worksheet, students must examine four different groups of pictures and determine which picture is the tallest in each group.

Seventh graders investigate the parts of the human body and examine the symmetry of body parts like arms and legs. They measure the body parts and take individual height and weight to compare the quantities. Student examine whether the...

How high will it fly? Pairs build straw rockets and launch them at different angles and determine the height and horizontal distance of the flight path. Teams make conjectures about how the angle affects the measured distances and use...

Students experience measuring things without the system of inches or millimeters. They utilize a ruler to measure or a body part to measure at least three body parts such as your ear height, finger length of foot width. Students...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders read each word problem and follow its instructions. They identify shorter and taller and compare certain objects to each other.

Third graders, using technology tools, determine the total height of their classmates in both inches and centimeters. Once the measurements are taken, they enter the results in the Excel file. Once students have prepared a KidPix number...

Third graders brainstorm a list how they use measurements everyday. Using string, they cut a piece long enough as their height and complete ratios using their arms and legs about old tales about measurements. They compare and contrast...
