In this interactive measurement worksheet, students arrange the six groups of objects according to their height.                

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Second graders examine the metric system. In this metric system lesson plan, 2nd graders compare measurements of common objects in metric units. Students compete in a garden scavenger hunt.

Although the objective to this measurement worksheet isn't entirely clear, it is definitely usable in a few ways. There are six images of different creatures, each with a height and weight listed. Learners label each creature by filling...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Would you measure the height of a living room in centimeters? Scholars examine which units would be most efficient for this project: centimeters or meters. There is only one question here with a detailed explanation below. This would be...

Ten questions regarding volume of rectangular prisms are presented to your geometers, most of them requiring the multiplication of length, width, and height. The assignment is acutally an interactive resource in that learners answer...

Students review what a cylinder is and how a cylinder is measured. They build a variety of cylinders with different heights and radii. They compare the surface area and volume of each cylinder and discuss anything that surprises them...

In this shadow sleuth worksheet, students use proportions and indirect measurement to determine the measurement of given objects. This one-page worksheet contains three problems.

Here is a measurement lesson plan focusing on length. Learners use their feet as the unit of measurement for furniture in the classroom and at home, and sketch the pieces of furniture they measured.

Students investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

Find the height from afar. Teams role play as summer interns to find the height of a set of windows from the outside. Scholars must first determine how to find the height with the available tools. After determining a strategy involving...

Conduct indirect measurements three ways. Working in groups, pupils come up with different ways to measure three tall objects indirectly. The teacher provides measurement information requested by the teams, and learners then calculate...

Ever wondered how many pieces of paper a binder clip can hold? Viewers of a short video are about to find out! Given measurement data for three different sized binder clips, learners must develop a method for figuring out how many pieces...

Students identify the different properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They use mathematical reasoning to solve word problems.

Students measure their height and then they will input the information into a spreadsheet. After the data is entered, students will use the material gathered to create a bar graph showing the heights of people in their class.

Quiz the class on which unit of measure would be most appropriate when determining the weight, volume, height, or distance of eight different objects. This quiz reviews liters, kilometers, milligrams, and centimeters. 

In this surface area and volume worksheet, 10th graders identify and complete 3 different problems that include determining the surface area and volume of cubes. First, they use their ruler to find the width and height of each cube....

How high did the ball go? Engineering teams build a working pneumatic system that launches a ball into the air. The teams vary the amount of pressure and determine the accompanying height of the ball. An extension of building a device to...

Let's go fly a kite. By flying a kite, class members observe the difference in air flow. The class notices the characteristics of banners tied to the kite string to determine where wind turbulence stops. Adding an anemometer to...

Your learners will be tantalized by this inquiry-based, collaborative activity as they discover how to write an equation that represents the height of an ice cream cone. Given the scenario based on the poem, "Eighteen Flavors," and...

In this measuring with centimeters and meters worksheet, students use the rulers provided to find the length and height of objects. Students solve three problems.

Students use the correct tool to measure distances. For this geometry lesson, students use an odometer and ruler correctly as they study maps. They describe how far way something is.
