Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

Sixth graders measure and investigate the densities of several objects. They, in teams, determine the mass and volume of each of the 5 objects and record the measurements in the data table.

Students explore counting and graphing. In this math lesson plan, students practice counting from 1-25 and are exposed to two types of graphs: the pie graph and the bar graph. Students use Skittles to represent a variety of measurements.

Students explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson plan, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge....

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy.

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Tenth graders identidy and define various geometry terms, Students create exact replicas of a shape that is either smaller or larger than the original shape. Students prove that their entire shapes are larger or smaller in the same...

Explore the concept of building equations for perimeter and circumference. Learners use rulers to measure the perimeter of half a sheet of paper.  Then fold the sheet of paper numerous times, each time measuring perimeter. ...

Students discuss the importance of scaling drawings. In this math lesson plan, students create a scaled drawing of circuit boards. They explain why accuracy is very important when scaling.

Student explore estimation and measurement. For this measurement lesson, 2nd graders measure french fries, graph their data, and determine the size of french fries that is the best value. Students practice how to add prices and calculate...

In this math learning exercise, students measure a series of angles. Then they measure the angles in the triangles and determine the sum of the angles.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Fourth graders, using a map, ruler and calculator, determine the distance the pioneers traveled from Nauvoo, Ill. to the Salt Lake Valley.

In this vertical angles explorations worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they use a ruler and a protractor to measure the angles illustrated. Then, students complete the tables next to each...

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement lesson, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Young scholars investigate the math concept of Pi (specifically, what pi is, the significance and how it is used in the real world). This is a hands on lesson in which the students actively participate with their investigations. The...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

For this pounds and ounces worksheet, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Students explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  For this parts of a whole lesson, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

Students are introduced to the concepts of perimter, diameter, circumference and measurements. In groups, they complete two worksheets in which they determine if the ice dimensions make a difference in the way it floats. They discuss...
