The original drawing is eight units — how big is the scale drawing? Classmates determine the scale percent between a scale drawing and an object to calculate the length of a portion of the object. They use the percent equation to find...

How long does it take to get to the end of a toilet paper roll? Pupils use their estimation strategies to find lengths of common items. For example, knowing the area of a roll of toilet paper, scholars determine the length of the full roll.

For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

What is an annulus? Pupils first learn about how to create an annulus, then consider how to find the area of such shapes. They then complete a problem set on arc length and areas of sectors.

A set of ten skill-based problems and two word problems make up a metric worksheet in which measuring length and converting units of measurement is the focus.

Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

Third graders examine and explore a variety of ways to measure length. They discuss how to measure large objects using the end-to-end method, and in small groups measure the length of the room using the end-to-end method with a...

An excellent worksheet on measurement is here. Young learners cut out the measuring bar at the bottom of the page and measure five lines, then write how many boxes long each line is.

Enrich your study of living things with these cross-curricular math activities. Following along with the story Tillena Lou's Day in the Sun, learners will practice addition and subtraction, learn how to measure volume and length,...

It's amazing how much kids change from the beginning of the year to the end. Create a written account of their growth with a fun learning exercise that involves children recording information about themselves at two...

Converting lengths is the focus of a metric worksheet that involves mathematicians to calculate a given number by 1000, and then convert a measurement using kilometers into meters. Finally, learners are asked to solve two word...

Discuss all things round and round. Pupils review finding area and the circumference of circles and use them to solve problems. Next, they learn about central angles and their relationships to measures of arcs. Learners then find out how...

Young mathematicians practice measuring and graphing skills while working in groups to measure objects found in the classroom. Using their measurements, they create one bar graph displaying the lengths and another displaying the widths.

If Shaquille O'Neal wears a size-20 shoe, how big are his hands? Learners will use the average ratios of foot length to hand span to calculate the hand span of Shaq, but first, they have to collect the data! They will...

Nineteen word problems dealing with frequency, speed, reflection, and refraction of light are provided here. Empower your physics masters to manipulate equations for computing angles, focal lengths, image heights, and more! This is a...

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

Climb the ladder to trigonometry. The interactive introduces trigonometric ratios and finding lengths of sides of right triangles created by a ladder and a building. Learners use the interactive to create triangles by moving the top of...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Students find the length of the arc of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of an arc and find the measure of the central angle given the length of the arc. They convert between linear and angular speed. They...

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students examine the appropriate unit of measure to use for a variety of items, and look at which errors are commonly made. They consider the use of millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers...

In this arc length activity, students find the designated arc length of various circles. They determine the area of each sector. This four-page activity contains 24 problems. Answers are provided on the last two pages.

In this customary units of length worksheet, students draw five lines with different lengths, measure five lines to the nearest half inch and estimate the length of five widths.

In this distance worksheet, 7th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include determining the distance in various equations. First, they solve each of the problems by showing their steps taken. Then, students determine...

In this similarity worksheet, students determine the length, area and volume of similar figures. This three-page worksheet contains explanations, examples, and 20 problems. Answers are provided on page three.
