Who knew that the Egyptian, Julian, and Gregorian year were different lengths? Your mathematicians will! They will have to calculate the difference between the years in seconds and find the percent change. Using dimensional analysis,...

Far out — plan a trip to space! Aspiring mathematicians steer a space vehicle through an asteroid field, calculate currency exchanges to buy provisions, and determine placement of charges to blow up asteroids. Along the way, they learn...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders read each word problem and follow its instructions. They identify shorter and taller and compare certain objects to each other.

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

For this rates and ratios worksheet, students write proportions to match the given problem. They determine unit rates for a given situation. This two-page worksheet contains 4 problems. Answers are provided on the last page.

In this rates and ratio worksheet, students determine the ratio for a given situation. They use proportions to solve problems. This two-page worksheet contains 4 multi-step problems. Answers are provided on the last page.

In this measurement of time learning exercise, learners read a short article and then look at 12 pictures and draw a line from each one to either the sun or the moon. Students distinguish whether each picture is happening in the day or...

First graders demonstrate their ability to compare the lengths of three objects and determine which is the longest or shortest. Pupils match the correct answer to each of the seven story problems.  All lengths are expressed in...

Now, this is what I consider to be a worthwhile PowerPoint to show. It covers two specific mathematical topics; longer than and shorter than. Learners are challenged to tell if an object is longer or shorter than a set number of inches...

Third and fourth graders read the addition word problems and use the sets of numbers within the problem along with column addition to solve the problems.

Having more letters in your name helps you get a better grade in your math class—or does it? Learners create scatter plots to organize data. The lesson places emphasis on determining scale and intervals and labeling axis.

In this customary length worksheet, students solve 5 multiple choice problems where they must choose the better estimate of customary length. Students then answer 9 fill in the blank problems and 1 word problem, where they must convert...

Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

In this measuring worksheet, students solve four problems. Students study the pair of pictures in each problem and follow the directions to color the longer and shorter objects different colors. A ruler will not be needed. This page is...

In this geometric shape worksheet, 1st graders name each of three shapes in the first column of the worksheet. They draw the same shape in the space to the right, making the new shape longer than the original. They draw a rectangle, an...

Learners measure objects in the classroom. In this measurement lesson, students compare items using their height, use paper clips to measure things and record their findings.

Groups plan their escape carefully. Three three-tiered puzzles help a story character escape their situation, each involving integer sequences, transformations, and geometric constructions. The teacher resource includes...

In this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

In this fancy foot estimation and measurement worksheet, 1st graders examine 3 curved lines and estimate whether they are longer or shorter than a foot. They use a foot-long string to check each answer.

In this mathematical activity, students utilizing a ruler measure several boxes full of pencils to find out which pencil is the longest and which pencil is the shortest.
