For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

In need of a set of math vocabulary cards? A kindergarten resource is guaranteed to help young mathematicians develop their math vocabulary. With 17 cards, the top half of each card has the vocabulary word printed in bold text,...

Learners examine four objects and identify each as longer or shorter than their hand. They order the four objects from shortest to longest and respond to a test prep question. A good worksheet for in-class work, or for a homework...

Youngsters examine four sets of familiar images, circling the one that is short and underlining the one that is long. This is likely best done 1:1 with kids or as a big class, projecting the image for everyone to see.

The scientific issue of carbon-14 dating and exponential decay gets a statistics-based treatment in this problem. The class starts with a basic investigation of carbon content, but then branches out to questions of accuracy and...

Providing both review and practice problems, this worksheet prompts students to answer five questions having to do with slope, tangents lines, graphing, the Squeeze Theorem, differentiable functions and derivatives. This activity could...

Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

In this comparing length and height word problem worksheet, students compare drawings of objects visually to determine which is longer, longest, shorter, and shortest and make a chart to solve logical reasoning problems. Students solve...

Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to...

Enhance your math lesson with a series of pictures that illustrate different math concepts. The vocabulary includes a variety of ideas and pictures including fractions, ordinal numbers, picture graphs, and number lines.

Measuring length with nonstandard units is the focus of this word problem learning exercise. Youngsters problem solve using cubes, paper clips, footprints, and pencils. They solve six problems.

In this Language Arts worksheet, students read a poem called "Taller, Shorter, or Longer?" The poem includes movements and comparisons of different animals.

Which truck is longer? After examining two images of trucks, learners circle the one that is longer. More than a math or measuring worksheet, this is more about the term longer. Because there is a detailed explanation below,...

These measurement word problems can be tricky! Scholars will need to keep track of numbers as they determine who has the shortest bed, the longer car key, and a bus longer than nine meters. For each, there is an image depicting the...

Youngsters examine how to tell time to the nearest half-hour. They discuss why people wear watches, listen to the book "What Time Is It?" by Sheila Keenan, view examples on a model clock, and complete a worksheet with the teacher.

In this math worksheet, students solve the word problems using inequalities. They translate the words into the correct expressions.

Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated...

Without using a ruler, learners estimate the relative length of various lines in these three scenarios. The first two are set up as maps, with learners determining the shortest and longest distances from one position to another. The last...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Challenge: create an assessment that features higher level thinking from beginning to end. A ready-made test assesses knowledge of dilations using performance tasks. Every question requires a developed written response. 

Do pilots create appropriate spacing between aircraft by traveling a longer or shorter path? An interactive presents two airplanes that violate safety protocols. Pupils must determine how to change the path of one plane to create...

Explore the mathematics of infection outbreaks with activities that ask learners to use coordinate grids to locate infected patients. They calculate amounts of ingredients for antidotes and determine which groups of people should be...

Everyone loves a vacation and a set of three activities has groups planning a tour of the U.K. using given distance, time, and price data. They solve a variety of problems related to the trip and produce a report on the success of...
