Students explore the idea of having Benchmarks to estimate the length of given objects. Students demonstrate acquired knowledge of the basic units of length by making reasonable estimates. Students create a personal benchmark.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

In this exploring metric units of length worksheet, students estimate, measure with paper clips, measure with centimeter and millimeter rulers, and convert centimeters to milliliters. Students write five answers.

Second graders determine the correct unit of measure to use for different situations. In this measuring lesson, 2nd graders are introduced to different unit of measure. Students study the origin of measurement and practice measuring....

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry instructional activity. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the...

Give pupils a ruler and this instructional activity so that they can practice measuring down to the quarter inch! Drawings of six various objects are depicted for them to apply their measurement skills to. The assignment concludes with...

In this ordering measurements of length worksheet, students observe sets of three pictures and number them in order from shortest to longest. Students solve 9 problems.

Learners recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

Find the length of an arc. Students relate central angles to the area and length of a sector and graph circles on the TI to make predictions.

In this measuring the lines activity, students use a centimeter ruler to find the metric measurements of length. Students solve 5 problems.

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert smaller units of length to a greater unit of length. There are nine questions to complete with available space to show work.

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

This measurement PowerPoint introduces the abbreviations in measurement. Each slide contains several clues and an abbreviation of a unit of measurement. Students identify the correct unit of measurement by considering the given clues....

Learners follow detailed directions to create triangles on their graphing calculator. In this properties of triangles lesson, they will create triangles on their calculators using the Cabri Jr. application. They then identify three...

This PowerPoint addresses fifth grade math concepts, focusing mostly on geometry. The interactive math review game is in a "Jeopardy" style format and enables students to revisit the topics in geometry such as polygons, quadrilaterals...

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...

In this multiplication of mixed measurements learning exercise, learners multiply mixed standard and metric units of capacity and length. Students solve nine problems. 

Apply, apply, apply! A measurement activity applies a number of concepts to help learn a new construction. Scholars learn to divide a segment into n equal parts using a method that uses the Side Splitter Theorem and a method...

Breaking the law in math doesn't get you jail time, but it does get you a wrong answer! After developing the Law of Sines and Cosines in lesson 33 of 36, the resource asks learners to apply the laws to different situations. Pupils must...

Identifying and verifying reproducible patterns in mathematics is an essential skill. Mathematicians identify the relationship of sides when an angle is bisected in a triangle. Once the pupils determine the relationship, they prove it to...

Students estimate the distance of student's broad jumps. This activity can take place in the block center with a small group of students. They are explained that they are going to jump from a starting point (marked with the masking...

Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...

Is that drawn to scale? Capture the artistry of geometry using the ratio method to create dilations. Mathematicians use a center and ratio to create a scaled drawing. They then use a ruler and protractor to verify measurements.
