Linear measurement is the focus of this math lesson. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson plan, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different...

Examine measurable characteristics of objects to build an understanding of the different ways you can discuss an object's size when comparing it to other objects. After whole group instruction, the class compares and organizes several...

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Young scholars explore the concept of measuring length using a one-inch pipe cleaner "inchworm." They listen to the story "Inch By Inch by Leo Lionni and discuss how the animals were measured by the inchworm in the book. In pairs...

Students compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement lesson, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only lesson and does not include instruction.

Second graders explore how to use measurement in everyday life.

This activity uses an interdisciplinary approach involving literature, math, and writing. Using the book, Inch by Inch, by Leo Lionni young scholars will explore the world of measurement. They will have the opportunity to practice...
