Peruse a collection of lesson plans, resources and FAQ's about measurement at every grade level.

This site from the Math Forum is a great introduction to measurement for primary students. Each measurement activity has four components: interactive, manipulative-based project; technology; paper/pencil practice; literature connection.

A geometry instructional activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive instructional activity that considers students with diverse learning...

Clemson University offers an excellent site of linear thermal expansion lab. Includes experiment, images, charts, links, questions, and much more.

These questions measure knowledge and skills: order of operations; solving equations in one variable; graphing linear equations; writing linear expressions and equations; finding the y-intercept of a linear function.

In this activity, students will collect data by measuring different linear objects and develop a strategy to determine the conversion factors required to convert from one linear measurement to another.

A metric measurement lesson plan using grams, milliliters, and centimeters. This instructional activity offers a variety of "hands on" measurement activities using both the customary and metric systems. Additionally, this lesson plan...

In this activity, students' examine how temperature affects the rate of gas production during a chemical reaction. They measure this rate by recording the pressure variation using a pressure sensor and model the pressure data using a...

When two or more chemicals react, other substances such as gases may be produced. The rate at which the reaction takes place can be affected by a number of different factors including temperature. In this activity, you will see how...

Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class...

This website contains an easy to understand explanation of vanishing point and other concepts of linear perspective.

What is an atlatl? Learn how this Aztec dart throwing tool can be used to teach students such things as distance, radius, and linear and angular velocity. Curriculum strands are provided for each of the many lesson plans for students...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This learning module features five videos and a set of practice questions in which students learn to compute linear measures, given edge or surface measures of...

This illustrated math lesson shows how important levels of accuracy in measurement are. The answer can be different since a scale only accurately weighs to the nearest tenth of a gram instead of to the nearest hundredth of a gram. Aligns...

In this activity, students' will use temperature sensors to measure temperatures of water samples before and after mixing. They compare the mixing temperatures to a linear prediction.

A CSI activity that deals with "TRENDS IN DATA". You'll conduct an investigation whereby you'll measure parts of your body and contribute to the investigation data to solve a murder. You'll look at different relationships to find proper...

Students use the EasyTemp Probe to measure the temperature of hot and cold water before and after mixing. Students compare the mixing temperatures to a linear prediction. EasyData is needed for this activity.

Students can use a CBR 2 motion detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

Students learn to use measurements on a real model to develop the concept of slope and linear functions. They use a calculator to explore changing the slopes and Y- intercepts in the slope intercept form Y = MX + B.

In this activity, students can use the motion detector to measure their current height and obtain a mean value. They will use this and earlier data to plot a graph of height versus age. Students will identify the mathematical model that...

This lesson provides basic instruction on the major concepts in algebra. Content includes a focus on fractions, units of conversion, complex numbers, quadratic equations, factorization and roots of polynomials, solving equations, systems...

This site explores the microscope in great detail. Content includes a focus on the microscope's basic functions (including a general diagram), the history of the microscope, each feature of the microscope, differing objectives,...

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

In this activity, students use linear measurement and calculators to investigate the ratios between corresponding parts of regular polygons.
