Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.

Scholars learn about the metric system and produce a presentation on how to convert within the metric system. They then develop a brochure in support of legislation requiring the use of the metric system.

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Students use bathroom scales, rulers and boards to explore how to measure their own center of gravity.

Young scholars use the reaction time to figure out problems. They use the following example to get them started with reaction time: the edge of a ruler is placed near a person's thumb and index finger and, without warning, the ruler is...

Students construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

In this holes worksheet, students observe how not all holes are round by making holes out of rulers and paper. Students also answer 3 questions.

First graders use standard and non-standard tools to measure classroom objects. Partners compare data and responds to a journal prompt that provides application to real-world situations.

Second graders practice measuring and estimating the length of two objects. They answer questions related to these topics and then work together in parts to complete a worksheet.

Learners are given a brown paper sack filled with different types of object for them to measure. They are to first estimate the length and then measure them in centimeters and millimeters.

Fourth graders investigate measurement of linear and curved surfaces. In this math instructional activity, 4th graders discuss how to measure curved surfaces and work with a partner to measure various curved surfaces.

In this measurement worksheet, students measure distance with a provided ruler. Using the provided map scale, students determine the actual distance between objects. They may set up proportions to evaluate each situation.

In this measuring instructional activity, students cut out a ruler on the page and measure the length and width of given pictures of parcels. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Learners use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems involving length.

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students predict...

For this mathematical worksheet, students measure five lines, record how long they are in centimeters and then draw a line that is half or twice as long as the one they measured.

In this math worksheet, students practice using metric and standard rulers. Students measure 10 lines in both centimeters and inches. Students write the answers on the lines.

In this math assessment worksheet, students answer 5 multiple choice geometry questions. The assessment is on the fourth grade level.

Seventh graders select 6 stores and 1 restaurant at Cocowalk and measure the distance of traveling from store to store. They measure the distance from Store 1 to Store 2 and label that distance A.

In this measurement worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer, filling in items measure, tool used, unit of measurement and why it was chosen and why each measurement tool was chosen.

In this metric measurement worksheet, students estimate lengths of items in centimeters, then use rulers to check estimates.

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...
