In this math review for grade 2 (2.3) worksheet, 2nd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about measurement and geometric shapes.

Introducing measurement can be as simple as reading a book and then using measurement tools to understand how big a foot really is. The class reads and discusses the book How Big is a Foot? by Rolf Myller, stopping often to consider...

Sixth graders measure circumference and diameter to the nearest eighth of an inch, record measurements on a spreadsheet, and use the internet to complete a "scavenger hunt" of facts concerning pi.

Young scholars make a flying wheel and measure its flight.

Students measure distances. In this proportions lesson, students use a map to find how far it is between different cities. Students use their knowledge of measurement, multiplication and fractions to find the distances.

Students investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they calculate the...

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.

Learners use grid boxes as a measurement tool and discover how grids are used for mapmaking and scaling down an area. They begin by attempting to draw a model shape drawn by the teacher by using the gridding process. At the conclusion of...

Learners explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

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...

Help online friends Digger and Sprat from the BBC series to solve math problems! In a series of activities, your class will use data sets to calculate measurements, averages, means, and probabilities. The class completes worksheets and...

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...

A fun (and delicious!) lesson plan teaches measurement to your third graders. They work in small groups to first predict, then to measure the weight, circumference, and number of seeds found in a watermelon. Everyone gets to eat...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Explore equivalent fractions! Youngters measure the crown of their head with adding tape labeled with various fractions and fractional parts, and compare strips to notice numerical relationships. They fold adding tape in half and color...

Your geometers apply the formula for surface area of a cube in 8 straightforward problems given the measure of a side. Space to work is part of the graphic design. I'd assign it for homework. Give them time to get started in class so you...

Students investigate their school forest and make their own miniature forest. In this forest investigation lesson, students read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and make alist of reasons to have trees. Students investigate trees by...

Students measure and calculate the angle of the sun. They compare the leaf types on the north and south to compare the effects of the sun on the type of vegetation. They complete the activities inside the classroom or on a trip to a...

Students calculate the square root of a given number using carpenter's square measurements. In this math lesson, students relate this method on the Pythagorean theorem. They answer practice problems after the exploration activity,

Don't lose your marbles. Scholars use an interactive to create a triangle that closes off a portion of a sidewalk with loose marbles. The Law of Sines helps them find the side measures of such a triangle.

Second graders develop spatial sense, such as above and below. In this spatial sense lesson, 2nd graders go on a scavenger hunt and to piece together the clues. Each clue has a question using spatial vocabulary. 

Students participate in a variety of activities about how caterpillers become butterflies.

In this learning tools worksheet, students will cut out and use two paper rulers. One ruler shows inches and the other shows centimeters.

Students investigate the amount of rain that falls in their area through the construction and monitoring of a rain gauge. The gauge is observed for one week, recordings are made, and observations described in a chart.
