Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson...

In this number sense worksheet, students examine the 4 pictured items and estimate how long each of them is in centimeters. Students use rulers to check their work.

Students explore quilting. In this math patterns instructional activity, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Students explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

In this measurement worksheet, students use a ruler to measure the various lines. Students write the lengths in centimeters on the provided lines.

Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

A variety of units of measurement are taught in this math worksheet. First, students measure objects using their hands. Then, they use a ruler to gain more precise measurements in meters and centimeters. Nice worksheet!

Students simulate analyzing artifacts in archaeological lab by using real techniques that archaeologists use. Students practice measuring skills, drawing, writing, and brainstorming, and make inferences based on evidence.

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

Third graders explore the concept of linear measurements and how they work. Coins are used to reinforce the process.

Students investigate shapes and sizes by creating a riddle.  In this geometry lesson, students read one of two books and investigate facts about an object's size.  Students write a riddle using the facts they have read and cut...

Learners are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Students construct and maintain a school garden. In this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

Seventh graders use a protractor to measure angles and solve a problem involving distance. In this measuring angles with a protractor lesson plan, 7th graders calculate the distance of a line on a diagram by using a protractor to measure...

Students find the sum of the angles of a polygon and construct a polygon given the number of sides. In this polygon lesson plan, students draw large polygons on the floor of the room. They measure the length of each side and the interior...

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

In this perimeter and area lesson, students learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Students define perimeter and area and explain why...

In this mathematics worksheet, students imagine that a giant needed a ruler to measure things in his world. they draw a line under the bottom edge of the ruler and under each mark, write the size of the fractional part.

In this measuring worksheet, students write the correct measurements for items shown above a set of rulers. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra instructional activity, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know...

In this adult math worksheet, students look at a picture of a tape measure with arrows pointing to locations on the ruler. They write the distance to each marked point by filling in the blank.
