Third graders examine and explore a variety of ways to measure length. They discuss how to measure large objects using the end-to-end method, and in small groups measure the length of the room using the end-to-end method with a...

Third graders listen to a read-aloud of Leo Lionni's, Inch by Inch before measuring a variety of items using both standard and metric units. They record the measurement data and follow a recipe for dirt pie.

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!

Studets practice problem solving and comparison of quantities, ratios and prproportions. They develop a plan for determining the height of a flagpole complete with drawings and calculations. In addition, they complete a written...

In this measurement worksheet, students use the ladder method to convert basic units. Then they compare each using greater than, less than, or equal to. Students also write the correct abbreviation for each metric unit.

In this perimeter activity, students measure the sides of three triangles to find the perimeter in inches and centimeters. Students find the perimeter of a given square and hexagon as well.

In this measurement learning exercise, 6th graders calculate the perimeter and area for 9 different squares. Students record their answers on the lines beneath each square.
