In this conversion activity, students convert numbers shown in greater units to smaller units. Answers are included on page 2.

In this online math activity, students determine the length and width of given rectangles given their area. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

In this measurement activity, students are presented with the measurements of two items. They compute the upper and lower limits of the range of tolerance for the measurements. Students find the absolute error and percent of error for...

Students explore what work is, measure work done in moving an object, and tell how energy is related to work in both machines and the human body. In this measuring work lesson plan, students walk up a flight of stairs, measure the height...

Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

In this science worksheet, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of significant figures in...

In this math worksheet, students choose the appropriate unit of measurement in 12 problems. Students then convert metric units to larger or smaller measurements and also change metric to standard measurements.

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

In this significant digits worksheet, students are given the rules for determining the number of significant digits in calculations and measurements and they solve 5 problems.

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

In this volume problem instructional activity, students determine the volume of various objects. They compare similar objects and determine the percent of increase and decrease of the surface area and volume. This one-page instructional...

Lunar explorers perform an experiment to understand the size of the craters on the surface of the moon. They layer flour, laundry detergent, and cocoa powder in a pan to model the lunar surface. They drop marbles from different heights...

Explore division and measurement relationships with your math class. They will work in pairs to measure and cut a piece of cord 100 centimeters or longer. Then they cut off equal pieces of less than 10 centimeters until all the cord is...

Explore the solution to a word problem involving area and perimeter. Learners read and discuss how to approach the problem. In small groups, they determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter using a piece of string....

In this converting inches to centimeters review learning exercise, students practice their math skills as they convert the 22 measurements in inches to measurements in centimeters.

In this converting inches to centimeters review worksheet, students practice their math skills as they convert the 22 measurements in inches to measurements in centimeters.

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

Young mathematicians use the Visual Thesaurus to define mean, median, and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, learners use online sources to find the definitions of mean, median, and mode before applying the concepts to a class...

Third graders review formulas for area and perimeter in quadrilaterals. They arrange pre-cut twine on a centimeter graph paper to create non-congruent quadrilaterals. They calculate the perimeter and area of each form.

Third graders investigate the use of centimeters while measuring items with rulers which they construct. They examine the need for standard units of measure. They estimate the length of body parts before making the actual measurements.
