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...

Students estimate, measure, compute, and create patterns using jelly beans. In small groups, they solve various calculations, place jelly beans into groups, invent a new flavor, create a pattern, and complete a worksheet.

In this multiplication of mixed measurements worksheet, students multiply mixed standard and metric units of capacity and length. Students solve nine problems. 

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.

In this identifying units and tools to measure worksheet, students observe pictures of objects, circle the standard or metric unit needed and the correct tool to measure. Students answer eight questions.

This hybrid instructional activity connects mathematics to a science class. Learners practice solving problems that involve making a variety of conversions. An assortment of questions hits all the calculations needed for a middle school...

Estimate the value of one of the most famous irrational numbers. The hands-on instructional activity instructs classmates to measure the circumference and diameters of circles using yarn. The ratio of these quantities defines pi.

Students convert between the different metric units after reading the Fairy Tale of King Henry. They measure various candies in a baggy using the width of their index finger. They record results to the nearest index finger width on a...

In this conversion learning exercise, students solve 9 problems where they convert from one unit of measurement to another using a given table with conversion factors.

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in...

Students determine how to convert measurement. In this English Measurement lesson, students discover interesting facts about the history of measurement. Students study formulas and practice using them.

Students relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry lesson, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

Students review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students measure the volume of a clear container using a candle and sand. In this measuring volume lesson plan, students time how long a candle stays lit in a clear glass container. They fill it with sand and find the volume and then use...

Students trace the route of the historical event and measure the distance over which the people involved journeyed. A data sheet be constructed outlining the location of events, and the speed with which the journey occurred.

Students use an activity sheet to construct analogies about possible function of ancient or historic ceramics and compute circumference from a section of a circle as they study measuring pots.

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

You'll find everything but the kitchen sink here ... or just a carbon sink. In the activity, pairs or groups of middle school learners go outside and measure a tree's circumference and height to estimate its carbon storage potential and...

Students solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities include...

Seventh graders review graphing procedures and practice locating points using x,y coordinates. Students calculate the areas of the top and bottom surfaces of the airfoil. They construct a test model of the airfoil.

For this identifying kinds of tools worksheet, students observe pictures of standard and metric measuring tools and draw an activity that would require the usage of each tool. Students draw four activities.

In this calculating dimensions of a swimming pool learning exercise, 6th graders solve the areas, the five depths, the volume, the square meters of tiles, the cost of the tiles, and convert the measurements from standard to metric....

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.
