For this inches and feet worksheet, young scholars, with a partner, estimate and measure the answers to five word problems dealing with inches and feet.

Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Third graders use a ruler that has a bag tie slider attached to it to measure a number of items. While measuring, they complete a "Sliding Along" worksheet and a "Sliding Synthesis Journal." In the journal entry, they include what they...

Third graders investigate the use of centimeters while measuring items with rulers which they construct. They examine the need for standard units of measure. They estimate the length of body parts before making the actual measurements.

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure their smile and the smiles of people in their group using centimeters and millimeters. Students combine their data with their classmates' data to analyze and write a brief conclusion.

Students draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that...

Fifth graders collect height and feet measurements from classmates, analyze the data collected, and describe possible patterns in this Math lesson plan for the 5th grade classroom. Basic tools for measuring (graph paper, dot paper,...

Students investigate metric measurement. In this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

Students review different units of measurement that would be used to measure height. They compare their height to that of Abraham Lincoln by working with a partner to make a life size tracing of each other and measuring their height.

Students identify and use descriptive writing and measurement terms to describe a student-created robot. Then they construct robots of materials available and then use AlphaSmarts or Danas to describe the robot using only the dimensions....

In this length word search worksheet, students analyze 13 words in a word search that pertain to length. Students find these in a word search puzzle. Note: The words are more like adjectives than math terms: deep, shallow, narrow, long,...

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Middle schoolers explain necessity in using accurate instruments when measuring, and how measurements can be checked for accuracy. They make a six-inch ruler, design, test, and evaluate a system to measure work, and produce a table and...

In this estimation and approximation instructional activity, students estimate multiplication and division problems containing decimals. They measure given objects, determine the possible error, the lower bound and the upper bound....

Students explore area and perimeter. In this math lesson plan, students differentiate between area and perimeter and compute the area and perimeter of an object.

Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

High schoolers collect data from mealworms. In this science and math lesson plan, students gain an understanding of collecting metric data using mealworms.

Seventh graders practice measuring skills as they add mixed fractions. In this fractions lesson, 7th graders measure the distance from their wrist to the tip of their finger, record the measurement, and repeat this procedure with other...

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. For this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Young scholars develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover...

In this math estimation worksheet, students estimate how many centimeters it is from each dot in a dot to dot puzzle. Students then use a ruler to measure exactly.

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. For this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...
