With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

Geometry gets an engineering treatment in an exercise involving a belt wrapped around two wheels of different dimensions. Along with the wheels, this belt problem connects concepts of right triangles, tangent lines, arc length, and...

Curves ahead! Develop a numerical measurement of curvy-ness. The class is challenged to come up with a definition of curvy that can be applied to curves. The class members use their defined measurement to describe a curve.

The accuracy required by the design and measurement of an Olympic running track will surprise track stars and couch potatoes alike. Given a short introduction, the class then scaffolds into a detailed analysis of the exact nature of the...

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Children gain first-hand experience with Native American agriculture while investigating the life cycle of plants with this engaging experiment. Focusing on what the natives called the Three Sisters - corn, beans, and squash - young...

Can any three side lengths create a triangle? Your classes tackle this question and more in the 11th lesson of the 29-part module. Through modeling with patty paper, individuals discover the relationship between the lengths of the sides...

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

A six-question interactive tasks mathematicians to solve addition and subtraction problems using front-end estimation. Question types consist of multiple-choice and true or false. A set of wooden beams that can be measured using moveable...

Lead your class on a search for precious bones. Using a presentation, the class investigates the golden ratio in art and nature. Groups of pupils measure specific bones and find the average ratio for the class. To further cement the...

Something's fishy here! Use the bar graph provided to determine the length of each fish shown. Small cartoon fish make this an engaging worksheet for young learners. There are six questions provided. 

In this measuring by hand worksheet, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

In this measurement instructional activity, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects at their school (book, desk, chalkboard, door, window, piece of paper and student's choice). Students then fill out pages with the...

In this math worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Students are able to measure various objects using English and metric systems within half of the smallest unit of the measurement device. Students identify units of length, volume, mass and temperature according to International System...

Students draw lines of certain lengths by using appropriate measuring tools. In this measurement lesson plan, students determine which measurement tools would be best to draw specific lengths to make a barn.

For this customary units of length, weight, and capacity reteaching worksheet, 4th graders review the customary measures in a box at the top of the page. They use the review information to make conversions in 9 problems. They use the...

In this measuring learning exercise, 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...

For this measurement and safety worksheet, students find the terms in a word search puzzle for 13 statements about the SI units of measurement, the prefixes for the units and measurements of mass, length, and volume. They answer 2...

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. For this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

Students define an arc and calculate its length. For this geometry lesson, students find examples of arc in the real world. They show their understanding of arcs through problem solving.

High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.

For this arc length worksheet, students solve for the arc length for four angles.  Three of the angles are given in degrees while the other angle length is given in radians.  The solutions are not provided.
