Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! In this measurement lesson, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

How many millimeters are in 10 meters? Which is greater: two centimeters or 30 millimeters? These are the types of questions learners can solve, along with one word problem, in a six-sectioned measurement brochure.

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

How does your class measure up? Young scientists create a scale drawing of the JOIDES Resolution in a collaborative activity. The lesson incorporates mathematical principles with deep-sea exploration to focus on enhancing measurement...

On this measurement hanodout, individuals review how to make conversions with customary units of length. They make conversions, compare lengths, and reason which unit of measure they would use for given items. To conclude the assignment,...

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...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Fourth graders become familiar with fractional parts of a ruler.  In this measurement lesson, 4th graders measure various objects to an 1/8 of an inch.   Students measure a piece of paper based on teacher direction....

A set of 49 cards can enhance fourth graders' math vocabulary. It provides a pair of cards on each sheet, one with the word printed in bold text, and the other with the definition of the word. Topics of the cards include mostly...

For this estimating lengths worksheet, students observe problems with pictures and lengths and choose the length that gives the best estimate. Students solve 9 problems.

Reinforce math vocabulary instruction with a set of flash cards. Fifty-six cards offer either a bold-face word or a picture representation equipped with descriptive labels. Terms include centimeters, gallons, square units, and more!...

Fifty-four flashcards make up a set to help reinforce math vocabulary. The set offers two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a definition card equipped with an example and labels. Terms include capacity,...

A set of 49 math vocabulary cards ranges from angle to irregular polygon to parallel lines. Each sheet contains two cards: one with the word printed in bold text and the other with the definition.

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

When is a foot not a foot? When you use the length of your own foot to measure distances, of course. To underscore the importance of standardized units of measurement, middle schoolers engage in a series of activities that ask them to...

How do we compare? Get your scholars measuring using this interactive and kinesthetic math activity. First, learners compare something (you announce- could be index finger, palm, feet, etc.) to classmates. Consider having them record...

Try introducing this assigment on converting measurement by presenting a scenario: "Last night I found a recipe for cookies, and it called for a half pint of butter. All I had was measuring cups - what should I do?"...

In this measurement worksheet, students convert feet to yards. Students complete ten problems to improve their understanding of measurement. There is an answer sheet provided.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

If you're measuring a bicycle, would you use inches, feet, or yards? What about when you measure a shoe, or a flagpole? Explore measurement with this worksheet, which prompts third graders to use their critical-thinking skills. Three...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...
