In the eyes of children the world is a simple place, objects are either big or small. This simple activity aims to expand the comparison language of young mathematicians as they use the words taller and shorter to compare their...

It's time for Halloween and math! Perfect for Fall, this simple worksheet provides a grid for young mathematicians to record their predictions about a pumpkin's height, stem length, diameter, circumference, and weight. After learners...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Students measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement instructional activity, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Students learn a mnemonic to...

Pretend that you've been dropped onto a mountain, in the middle of nowhere,  and all you have to find your way is a topographical map and a compass. Could you find your way to the nearest town? Orienteering teaches the skills of map...

In this measuring length and height learning exercise, students measure the lines with arrows on different shaped objects and fill in the length, height, base, or diameter boxes with the correct measurements. Students write five answers.

Students 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.

Hold your horses! Young learners discover the history behind measuring the height of horses "by hands." They also study the history of Oklahoma, and how horses played such an important role in settling the state. An excellent worksheet...

New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

Measurement devices can be used to determine the height, length, or weight of all kinds of things, even plants and animals. This presentation acts as the basis for two estimation activities. Each activity requires the children to...

Precise measurements make the job easier! One of the challenges when using an inclined plane for testing comes from pupils not using exact measurements. They often rely on books that slide or different ramp lengths when experimenting. By...

Can your kindergartners draw a shorter tree? What about a shorter kite string? Reinforce relative size and comparing with a clever activity. It prompts young learners to study a picture and draw a shorter version, and to choose the...

Reinforce relative size and following directions. After looking at a small bottle and flower, kindergartners draw a taller version of each in the circle provided. They then choose the tallest building out of five. Bring the lesson to...

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

Students explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

Students determine the height of objects using shadows. In this math activity, students discus methods of finding the height of items without directly measuring. Students measure shadows and figure the actual height of the object.

In this measurement instructional activity, students measure the length and height of shapes given to them. Students measure a rectangle, triangle, and circle.

For this height worksheet, students measure the height of items such as a tree, giraffe, and more with the units given. Students complete 10 activities.

In this measurement learning exercise, students measure the height of the objects given with the units given on the side of the problem. Students complete 16 problems.

In this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length and height of different objects given to them. Students complete 3 problems total.

In this measuring worksheet, students cut out a measuring bar, using it to measure and record the height of pictures of trees. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

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.

Fourth graders investigate the units of measurement used by various Native American tribes before they had contact with the Europeans. They write research questions, conduct research using a variety of resources, in small groups write a...

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...
