High schoolers investigate the concepts of area and perimeter. The lesson uses a legend to create a context for the proposed word problem. They use the skill of estimation in order to create an ox skin that is found in the story. 

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

Students observe number sense by participating in an estimation activity. In this blood cells instructional activity, students identify the importance of blood cells in the human body and discuss how tiny they are. Students utilize paper...

Students memorize four key decimal values for quick and accurate conversion. They convert decimal foot measurements to inches and fractions using math tables, computation or memorization. They memorize decimal foot conversions.

Eighth graders continue their geometry unit by focusing on volume. Using data, they create a spreadsheet, estimate and calculate volume. They solve real-life problems and round their answers to the hundredths place. They also practice...

Fifth graders look at the Garrison flag and estimate how big it is. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders then calculate the area and perimeter of the flag.

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

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...

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...

Young scholars use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems about length. They also analyze data presented to calculate ratios and percents.

Third graders find the perimeter of a polygon. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders use yardsticks to measure straight-lined objects to the nearest 1/2 inch. Student choose a "mystery object," find the perimeter, and record it on the...

This printable contains 12 basic equations to be solved. The first one is worked out as an example, and the answers for all can be found by clicking on a "Show Answers" box found on the website. The publisher has identified this as...

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

Twelve very simple equations are presented for learners to solve. What is the value of x? What is the value of n? Individuals apply operations to find the answers. You will find the final answers by clicking on the appropriate box at the...
