How many trees should we plant? Using an interactive as a manipulative, individuals find the mean, median, and mode for sets of data. They determine the number of trees to plant in each plot of land to reach a statistical goal.

How much work does it take to lift a bucket? An interactive presents a problem of lifting a bucket from the ground to the top of a building. Using their knowledge about work and integrals, pupils calculate the amount of work required to...

Hyperbolas—practice thinking outside of the box. Pupils alter the end behavior box to create various graphs of hyperbolas. They determine formulas to find the distance from the origin to the foci. Using that information, scholars...

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

A n incredibly thorough worksheet on how to read and use a ruler awaits yours students. Students identify lines on the ruler and use the proper abbreviations for the lengths. Students answer ten questions about ruler usage.

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students explore circumferences, diameters, and radii. In this math lesson plan, students measure circumferences in inches and compute radii and diameters, given different circumferences.

Students measure the perimeter of a square and create squares with specific perimeters in this lesson for the early-elementary classroom. The lesson includes templates for AppleWorks, Inspiration, and Kidspiration educational software.

In this math worksheet, students measure 10 vertical pictures of toys using a paper clip. Students then measure the pictures using inches.

Students explore measurement in terms of pizza toppings. In this math lesson plan, students draw a circle using string and a ruler, determine areas of different size circles, find how many two topping pizzas can be made using 14...

In this recognizing map scale ratios activity, students use ratios and centimeter measurements to calculate the distances in reality. Students solve 8 problems.

In this volume and surface area activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include measuring various solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area of a cube and the edge of it. Then, students...

Third graders measure wind direction. In this weather lesson, 3rd graders build a weather vane from a straw, skewer, spool, and flag. Students measure wind direction using their weather vane.

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders study comprehensive facts pertaining to volume and measurement of geometric, three-dimensional figures. Students solve for 59 problems showing their work.

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

In this circles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 20 different problems related to various circles. First, they find the radius and diameter of a circle with a given circumference. Then, students determine the measure of each...

Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

Students view a 30-minute video activity to discover information about the characteristics of frogs and toads. They then transform themselves into frogs and participate in a Jumping Frog Jubilee. They work in groups of three to measure...

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.
