In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...

Students accurately measure several dimensions of common objects using calipers. They determine whether a manufactured product meets correct specifications for length, width, height, depth and diameter.

For this Algebra II/Pre-calculus worksheet, students explore radian measure of an angle and convert between degree and radian measure. The seven page worksheet contains explanation, examples, and nineteen multi-part problems. Answers are...

Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Students differentiate between the different properties of arcs, arc lengths, chords, and chord lengths. In this circles lesson, students calculate the arc length of a given circle, and find the measure of the inscribed angles of a...

In this measurement activity, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

Second graders use a meter tape to compare the length of the Mayflower to a basketball court and make homemade butter for crackers. Afterward, all students sit inside the makeshift Mayflower's dimensions and enjoy their Pilgrim butter.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Students measure using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry instructional activity, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean theorem. They apply the same knowledge to solving story problems.

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Young scholars use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders build a swimming pool using math to calculate all of the different dimensions. The pool is rectangular in shape and is measured in yards or meters. Students must convert to different units to...

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

High schoolers use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  High schoolers find the...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

In this math worksheet, students create the plans for building a swimming pool through calculating its surface area. Then they answer the 13 related questions.

In this angle measurement worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 9 different word problems. First, they read the word problems carefully. Then, students draw a picture that represents each problem and solve. Finally, they find side...

Twelfth graders define an arc and find its length. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders roll out a circle and measure its length using the same method of a triangle and its hypotenuse. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to some...

In this gamma-ray worksheet, students read about the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory and how it measures the invisible lumps in space. Students solve 3 problems using an equation to determine the time that gamma-rays travel in space and the...

In this ratio measures worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 8 different types of problems. First, they find the largest angle of a hexagon. Then, students solve the proportions shown. They also name the similar figures by filling...

Students engage their critical thinking skills to solve challenging math problems. In these problem solving lessons, student work with tessellations, weights/measurement, reasoning, surface area, geometric shapes, and algebraic procedures.

Not all triangles are right! Pupils learn to tackle non-right triangles using the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. After using the two laws, they then apply them to word problems. 

Pupils gather measurements of real-world objects that have slopes. They then plot the measurements and find an equation of a line that fits the measurements. Finally, groups investigate the ADA and determine whether different ramps meet...
