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

First graders explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore measurement techniques as they use containers to measure capacity. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this measurements worksheet, students review how metric conversions work and the prefixes associated with the conversions. Then students complete 27 problems, 1 short answer, 14 matching, and 7 fill in the blank questions.

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...

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...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

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 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 investigate and measure using the metric and customary units. In this math instructional activity, students investigate which method is used most worldwide, the metric or the customary. They convert from unit to...

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.

In this math worksheet, students examine a row of measurements in the metric system. Students put the measurements in order from the smallest to the largest. Included are weight, length and capacity; there is no U.S. standard measurement...

Students explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. For this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Students analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

In this metric units instructional activity, students learn to convert measurements using metric unit measurements. Students solve and convert six problems.

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Seventh graders investigate the strength of the muscular system. They explore voluntary and involuntary muscle movement and discuss the types of muscles: cardiac or heart, skeletal, and smooth. They visit stations to answer questions...

Eighth graders identify and describe the components of various body systems. They create vocabulary flash cards identifying the excretory, digestive, immune, and nervous systems and describing their functions. Students complete a...

In this unit of measurement worksheet, middle schoolers identify the symbols for the metric units of measurement. They write the appropriate unit of measurement for eight statements and they solve three density problems.

In this metric conversions activity, students convert units of measure to each other with meters, kilometers, grams, and more. Students complete 12 problems.

For this metric measurement worksheet, students measure three lines in each problem and write the length in centimeters. Students then tell which is longest. There are 4 problems.

High schoolers investigate the concept of the solar system in our universe by constructing a model that is made to a measurable scale. Once the model is constructed it should be placed in a wide open space for observation and...

Pupils analyze the function of the lungs. In this lesson about the Respiratory System, students explore breathing and the movement of air through the lungs. Pupils perform an 4 part experiment to observe what it might look like for...
