Fifth graders compare the relationship between meter in music and measurement in math. They practice sightreading music by determining the number of beats per measure, clapping and counting the rhythm.

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Students understand the concept of how to use different measurement tools for specific purposes. Students take pictures of various objects that can be measured using a digital camera and then making a power point presentation.

Second graders practice measuring length and width of objects in inches. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use a ruler to measure the length and width of a chair, desk, and book. Students view a video, "Math Investigations II," to...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Second graders identify shapes and measurements in everyday life.  In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders locate rectangles in their classroom and use standard and nonstandard forms to measure them.  Students view a video clip...

Students explore measuring with metric rulers. In this math lesson, students measure two-dimensional objects using metric units.

Students practice estimation skills for measurement, and work with metric units of measurement.

In this math worksheet, students learn to measure common classroom objects or body parts using a standard inches ruler and a centimeter ruler. Students measure 21 objects in both ways.

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding capacity and measurement. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

In this science worksheet, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of significant figures in...

Young scholars discover building plans and practice reading measurements.  In this architectural design instructional activity, students investigate the areas of the specific World Trade Center locations that need to be rebuilt and...

Third graders measure time and length. Through the use of video and technology, they explore key elements of measurement, such as units and conversion between units. They explore alternate units of measurement and apply measurement to...

Students observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Young scholars predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement instructional activity, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Young scholars measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

Students explore a story about a room decoration activity to learn about measurements and area. In this measurement lesson, students listen to a story about a boy who is redecorating his bedroom. Students discuss the story and work in...

Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

Young scholars participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as...

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.
