Students discover the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this discovering the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students measure the lengths of various triangles to the nearest centimeter. Students record their measurements in a table. ...

In this slope worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include completing charts and applying applications to the real world. First, they use the pictures shown to measure the riser and tread of 3 consecutive...

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

Sixth graders measure distances on a map using string and a ruler. They complete mathematical word problems about measurement.

Can you prove it? Making assumptions in geometry is commonplace. This resource requires mathematicians to prove the parallel line postulate through constructions. Learners construct parallel lines with a 180-degree rotation and then...

Take a shot using a lesson on volume! Young learners watch a video showing a trashcan filling with paper balls. The task is to calculate the number of paper balls that will fit in the can. Pupils use volume calculations to make a...

What is the fastest way to get from point A to line l? A straight perpendicular line! Learners use what they have learned in the previous lessons in this series and develop a formula for finding the shortest distance from...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

In this centimeters and millimeters worksheet, students learn to use a ruler to measure lines and distances. Students then use the illustrated rulers to measure the lines in centimeters and millimeters.

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.

Students work in pairs taking measurements of a tree. They measure the trunk, crown, and height using vertical and horizontal measurement. Then students create a bar graph using the information they gathered.

In this length measurements worksheet, students play a game with a partner that helps them measure the three lengths on the pie charts. Students spin a pencil or paper clip to find the measurement and use a ruler to draw the length from...

Learners measure distances and report them in fractions. They convert fractions to decimals and multiply decimals.

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

Students demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...

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

students identify and explore the connection between math and the bones of the human body. Students collect data about bones from their classmates and from adults, apply formulas that relate this data to a person's height, and organize...

Students research the history of measurement in this lesson. They compare todays units of measurement to historical units of measurement. For example, they weigh themselves on a bathroom scale and figure out how many of them it would...

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Students discover math measurements by creating a skit with classmates.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize objects in a paper bag and index cards to create a short skit focusing on debate over the size of the objects....

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

Fourth graders measure to the nearest centimeter. They work together to create a portrait of themselves with an accurate measurement of their smile to the nearest centimeter. This is a creative way for students to explore centimeters.

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.
