Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

In this measuring activity, students practice measuring length to the nearest inch by first estimating and then measuring the illustrated objects. In the second set, students use a ruler to measure the given lengths and draw a line for...

In this units of measurement worksheet, students estimate and then measure each of the 3 pictures to the nearest inch. Students then use the measurements to solve 3 story problems.

Children solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various items measured (wooden blocks and boxes). This is a particularly good lesson plan to use when introducing how to use a ruler and how to add inches...

In this measurement worksheet, students review the definition of an inch and use a ruler to measure the 7 objects to the nearest inch.

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.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

In this using a ruler instructional activity, learners utilize a ruler to measure the length of four objects and then choose four small objects from their desk to outline and measure.

Learners create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement lesson, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them.  Students...

By now your class most likely has experience using a ruler, but they may not have learned to measure length to the quarter inch. This handout begins by explaining how, and then gives learners an opportunity to estimate these more...

Students explore customary units of measurement. Students use yardsticks, rulers, and adding machine paper to measure specific units as directed by the teacher. Through completing this hands-on activity, they actively investigate units...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson plan. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your young scholars.

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

In this measuring length worksheet, students measure 8 line segments to the nearest 1/2 inch. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this measuring length worksheet, students learn to read a ruler with fraction measurements. Students then measure the lines to the nearest fourth of an inch and also measure them using a centimeter ruler.

In this measuring length worksheet, students measure the length of given line segments. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

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

In this measuring length worksheet, students find the items illustrated in the classroom and measure their lengths to the nearest inch and centimeter. Students then use the measurements to solve the two word problems.

Second graders turn into measuring maniacs with this activity! With real world objects, 2nd graders practice measuring accurately to the nearest inch and centimeter. After a lecture/demo, students practice with a worksheet imbedded in...
