Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

Students accurately measure several dimensions of common objects using calipers. They determine whether a manufactured product meets correct specifications for length, width, height, depth and diameter.

In this ordering measurements of length worksheet, students observe sets of three pictures and number them in order from shortest to longest. Students solve 9 problems.

Young scholars explore "area."  In this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

In this geometric applications activity, students find the length of a missing side of a right triangle. They determine the perimeter of a polygon and find the distance between two lines. This two-page activity contains 28 problems.

Students examine the concepts of area and perimeter and how they relate to a rectangle. They find the largest possible area that can be enclosed by a fixed perimeter and complete a worksheet as well as create a table of all the possible...

In this measuring the lines activity, students use a centimeter ruler to find the metric measurements of length. Students solve 5 problems.

This measurement PowerPoint introduces the abbreviations in measurement. Each slide contains several clues and an abbreviation of a unit of measurement. Students identify the correct unit of measurement by considering the given clues....

Seventh graders investigate standards of measurement and metric units using a game to show the importance of standards of measurements. In this measuring lesson plan, 7th graders are grouped together and each group represents a foreign...

In this measurement worksheet, students solve 7 word problems and 1 multiple choice test-prep question. Students use non-standard classroom items to estimate and measure objects in order to solve the problems.

In this scale drawing worksheet, students use the scale drawing of a building to calculate the length of two walls. They compute the amount of molding they must order (perimeter). Students calculate the area of the house to determine how...

In this comparing length and height word problem worksheet, students compare drawings of objects visually to determine which is longer, longest, shorter, and shortest and make a chart to solve logical reasoning problems. Students solve...

In this volume worksheet, students determine the volume of a rectangular pyramid. They calculate the volume when given the length, width, and height. This two page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems. Answers are provided on the...

For this metric units of length worksheet, students measure line segments to the nearest decimeter, centimeter and millimeter, then complete comparisons. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

In this units of measurement review worksheet, students read 10 phrases and determine the units of measurement they would use to measure each of the objects.

In this science project worksheet, students create a container that catches a raw egg and prevents it from breaking. They measure that the container is under 19.5 inches in width and length. Students also calculate their scores from the...

For this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length and height of different objects given to them. Students complete 3 problems total.

In this converting units learning exercise, students solve 10 different problems that include using metric units in each. They complete each listed unit of measurement by converting each to its proper length, capacity, or mass. Students...

Serve up angle measurements on paper plates. Pupils use paper plates and paper-folding techniques to create a unit circle with conversions for special angles. Using their plates, learners explore the relationship between angle...
