Students accurately measure several common objects for thickness using micrometer calipers. They work individually to analyze whether given objects would meet the correct specifications required for a particular manufactured product.

Students discuss the word weight, how much they weigh and the conccept of heavy and light. They hear the story of measurement and the metric system. They work in groups and measure and record items found in the classroom and use a...

Line drawings of a circle, a cylinder, and a cone at the top of the page contain the formulae for area and volume of each shape. Learners complete the missing information in a chart that lists diameter, radius, height, and area and...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Engage in a shady activity to practice measurement techniques. Classes venture outside to collect measurements of various trees, using different strategies to measure the height, trunk circumference, width, and crown size. Then they...

After planting a bean seed in a jar, young scientists observe the growth patterns over several days. As the bean becomes a sprout, and the sprout becomes a plant, partners measure and plot the data. They notice patterns, practice...

You'll find everything but the kitchen sink here ... or just a carbon sink. In the activity, pairs or groups of middle school learners go outside and measure a tree's circumference and height to estimate its carbon storage potential and...

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Young scholars explore the differences between the heights of their family members as they measure, record, and compare the data gathered. Comparisons are made to discover who was the tallest and the shortest member.

In this online math worksheet, students must find the missing measurement in a variety of trapezoids. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this trees worksheet, students show their understanding of measurement by solving 6 fill in the blank problems for distance, girth, and height.

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Learners measure objects in the classroom. In this measurement lesson, students compare items using their height, use paper clips to measure things and record their findings.

In this ordering measurements worksheet, students rewrite 6 statistics in each of 3 tables with the largest measurement first.

In this measurements instructional activity, learners add or subtract the measurement problems. The measurements include: inches, minutes, hours, pounds, ounces, grams, feet, quarts, centimeters, gallons, pints, millimeters, yards, and...

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

In this measuring by hand activity, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

First graders explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore measurement techniques as they use containers to measure capacity. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this standard measurement worksheet, students solve 10 problems in which body parts and classroom objects are measured in inches. A paper ruler is provided.

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement activity, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding metric and customary measurement. Students may view the correct answers.

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students examine the appropriate unit of measure to use for a variety of items, and look at which errors are commonly made. They consider the use of millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers...

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....
