Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.

Young mathematicians demonstrate what they know about measurement with a four-task assessment that focuses on estimation, length, and inches.

Here is a very good estimating and measuring length with nonstandard units worksheet. Learners use paper clips and toothpicks to estimate and measure the real objects pictured in each problem, then write ten answers.

Using numbers with varying units (money, length, volume, distance, weight), scholars put each set in order from least to greatest. There are five numbers in each set, and they are all whole numbers with units attached (numbers in each...

Would you rather have a million dollars or 1 x 10^6 dollars? To find the answer to this question, class members first complete an assessment task converting numbers between decimal notation and scientific notation. They then take...

This isn't an ordinary number sequencing activity; as scholars put these values in order they must pay close attention to the units attached. Each set of numbers has different units of measurement, so they must convert to order them from...

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

First graders examine measurement. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders practice using nonstandard units to help in measuring objects. Students listen to How Big is a Foot and complete an activity using unifix cubes to measure line...

Clarify key math vocabulary terms with this series of printable cards. Three different versions of each term are provided; one with only the word, one with the word and a picture, and one with the word, a picture, and a definition. Note...

Don't keep the resource at an arm's length. A hands-on activity has scholars measure the heights, arm spans, hair lengths, and foot lengths of their classmates. They create scatter plots to determine if there is a correlation between...

What is the area? Because there is only one problem here with a detailed explanation below, consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Learners examine a rectangle split into 12 squares. They know that each unit is three...

Fifth and sixth graders engage in a series of activities which show them the importance of using different types of measurement strategies. One of the primary goals of the lesson is to show learners that measurement is helpful in many...

Instruct youngsters how to convert from one unit of measurement to another. This basic skill is useful in science courses as well as in math courses. Learning check slides are included to help viewers practice solving these types of...

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length lesson plan, 5th graders examine several household items and must decide if they want to use a pencil width, piece of paper, or their thumb to measure the...

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches...

In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines for each measurement. Then they measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students also use a ruler, a measuring tape, and measure small items and longer items.

How do you convert inches to centimeters? Or pints to liters? This handy reference guide has both US to metric, and metric to US conversions in a quick, easy-to-read format. Mass, area, volume, capacity, and length conversions are...

Young scholars measure stuffed animals with various materials such as dog biscuits, paper clips, and yarn. In this measurement lesson, students measure the stuffed animals, and understand the concept of long and short and big and little.

In this milkweed and monarch butterfly mania:  measuring worksheet, students use photos of milkweed plants and caterpillars next to a ruler to estimate the measurements of 10 leaves and 15 caterpillars, calculating and recording...

Students calculate the size of a mummy case and its contents using ancient Egyptian measurements.

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

It's amazing how much kids change from the beginning of the year to the end. Create a written account of their growth with a fun learning exercise that involves children recording information about themselves at two...

Sports fans will really enjoy this unit conversion assignment. A table of standard measurements for football-related equipment is presented as the data for solving six word problems. For all of the problems, players will need to convert...

How are arc lengths and radians related? An interactive resource demonstrates the relationship as pupils create arc lengths in a unit circle and compare them to the angle measurements. Questions ask individuals to build upon this...
