How many items can your learners find that are approximately one inch in length or width? Using this graphic organizer, they find nine, labeling and drawing each. A line that is 1-inch is provided at the bottom of the page, or you could...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Put your learners' decimal skills to the test with these five word problems. With space for students to write their work, the word problems contain addition and multiplication problems with money and measurement units. Use this resource...

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...

Sports fans will really enjoy this unit conversion assignment. A table of standard measurements for football-related equipment is presented as the data for solving six word problems. For all of the problems, players will need to convert...

These rectangles have everything scholars need to find the area, but none of them has units. Beginners to this skill multiply the length and width, all of which are whole numbers, to calculate and record the area for each. Consider...

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

In this measurement learning exercise, 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.

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

A change is coming. Pupils use unit cubes to investigate how changes in the length, width, and/or height affects volume and surface area. They extend the results to write and test predictions on the effect of changing multiple sides on...

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...

A few good questions move this lesson right along. Young mathematicians use critical-thinking skills as they learn how to determine the perimeter of various shapes. They determine perimeter first by measuring and adding the lengths of...

Students measure different parts of the human body. In this measurement lesson, students work in pairs to take measurements of human measurements which include: arm span, height, foot length, and wrist to longest finger. They also...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

Young scholars explore the concept of measurement as it relates to equivalencies. They complete simple conversions using visual models of measurement units, and  record their answers in a two-column table.

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of rectangles.  They find the width when given the area.  Students graph rectangles and solve word problems involving rectangles.  This three-page worksheet...

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

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...

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 tree observation instructional activity, students pick a tree that they observe over the course of a school year. They make observations, they sketch the tree, they take photographs of the tree, they get a leaf sample. They...

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 measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...
