Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

Students measure planes and solids. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the area and perimeter of different polygons.They complete a word puzzle to review their vocabulary words.

In this multiplying polynomials worksheet, students solve and complete 13 different problems that include monomials. First, they use the distributive property to multiply a polynomial by a monomial. Then, students find each product and...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume in each of the ten problems listed and write their measurements in terms of the larger amount. They find the volume of a sphere, a rectangular solid, and a cylinder....

In this volume of cylinders instructional activity, students solve 6 word problems related to the volume of various cylinders; students find volume, find height, solve reasoning problems and measure to given specifications.

Learners are given a volume of a rectangular tank and are asked to find the water height. Because the total volume of the tank is given in liters, your geometers will need to use a unit ratio to convert to centimeters cubed. The exercise...

Students explore the concept of area and perimeter. In this area and perimeter lesson, students construct miniature houses. Students determine the area and perimeter of their model in order to buy glue, carpet, and wall paper.

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

In this integers activity, 9th graders solve and complete 14 different problems. First, they find a given number of consecutive integers with a given sum. Then, students determine the dimensions of a rectangle given the length and width....

Students calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or assigned.

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Fourth graders practice measuring different objects in inches. Individually, they estimate the length of the same object in centimeters and then calculate the actual length. They compare and contrast their estimate to the actual length...

Seventh graders experiment with measurement as it relates to the algorithm for dividing fractions. For this fractions lesson, 7th graders work in groups to establish how many post-it notes it takes to fill an 8 X 11 piece of paper. Using...

Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems

Young scholars explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Students observe, measure and record variations that may be due to genetic inheritance. They look at the length of seeds for germinating pinto and lima beans and measure the distance between eyes in humans. They graph and discuss the...

Learners explore what factors affect the stream flow in a local body of water. They collect data to measure stream flow and discharge and construct a hypothesis concerning the factors affecting stream flow.

Pupils identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers, balances,...

Middle schoolers observe how to measure in metric units.  In this investigative lesson students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.

Students discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

Eighth graders calculate the weight of a limestone block in metric and U.S. customary measurements. Make inferences by applying measurable ratios to known data.

Students design and construct a suspension bridge. Math is used to compare the actual measurements of the bridge to the student's version.

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...
