Would you use inches or miles to measure a finger? How would you measure the water in a pool, or milk in a carton? Reinforce units of measurement with your first grade class. Learners circle the correct unit of measurement for each...

A visual measuring exercise that lends itself nicely to an all-class warm up, especially as it doesn't provide room for scholars to write in answers on the sheet itself. They examine 10 rulers and determine the length in either inches,...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

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.

Three rulers offer measuring practice with inches, centimeters, and millimeters. Scholars write four measurements, two of which involve fractional units. For the metric ruler they measure the same length in both centimeters and...

How many hands tall are you? Challenge kids to measure themselves the way the 19th century Oklahoma horse traders measured their prize horses (can they guess how many hands tall a horse had to be?). There's some background information...

A set of 49 cards can enhance fourth graders' math vocabulary. It provides a pair of cards on each sheet, one with the word printed in bold text, and the other with the definition of the word. Topics of the cards include mostly...

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring instructional activity, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students...

Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...

Second and third graders explore the size of their bodies. They use string to measure parts of their body in small groups. After measuring with string, young scholars measure the string with a ruler. They then glue their string to a...

Plant growth experiments offer rich, cross-curricular learning opportunities that can really excite and engage young learners. In this series, children work in pairs planting, measuring, and comparing the height of bean plants in order...

Design your dream classroom. The lesson plan contains an exercise to have teams create a scale drawing of their dream classroom. Pairs take the measurements of their classroom and furniture and create a scale factor for them. To finish...

Can your scholars crack the code of this metric worksheet? To start, mathematicians must convert different units of measurement to the standard metric system form. Then, pupils plug in the corresponding letter to the correct answer to...

First graders discover that there are two types of standard measurement using a ruler: centimeters and inches. They use the inches side to measure pipe cleaner "worms"; straigthening them out and laying them on the end of the ruler with...

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Fourth graders become familiar with fractional parts of a ruler.  In this measurement instructional activity, 4th graders measure various objects to an 1/8 of an inch.   Students measure a piece of paper based on teacher...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

In this measurement instructional activity, student measure 10 pictures of common objects using a paper clip. Students then measure in inches.

Individuals investigate the relationship between radian and angle measurements by using an interactive to find the angle measurement for given radian measures. Users answer questions to convert between the two measurements.

Forget hours, divide the day into radians instead. Class members convert the angles in a pie chart of daily activities into radian measures. They add angle measures for multiple activities then determine a relationship between the radian...

Once you start looking, angles appear everywhere in our daily lives. A creative lesson has learners use the angles created by a fuel gauge to practice the Angle Addition Postulate. They see how changing the angle parts does not...

Commutive and associative properties are the focus of a five-question interactive. Dealing with decimal multiplication and addition, mathematicians solve multiple-choice and true or false questions using a model that moves balloons along...

Find the perfect amount of water for lemonade. Scholars solve the famous problem of measuring four liters of water using a three-liter container and a five-liter container. An interactive allows users to see each step of the solution.
