Students explore how to use a metric ruler to measure length, accurately read and record measurements taken in centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), and collect and analyze data using a stem and leaf.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The teacher...

Second graders participate in a Scavenger Hunt to find out how long 1 cm is. They then find 10 objects that estimate to be 1 cm in length and record their findings on the table provided and check their estimates using a ruler.

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.

Students line themselves up from smallest to tallest at the chalkboard with the teacher marking their heights. After recording their names on the board next to their mark, they work with a partner to measure their height using several...

For this inches and feet worksheet, young scholars, with a partner, estimate and measure the answers to five word problems dealing with inches and feet.

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...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Students compare and convert units of measurement within the United States customary system and within the metric system by baking cookies. Students discuss how to double the cookie recipe, how to make only half of the recipe, and how to...

Trying to figure out the perimeter of a geometric figure? Here are a few word problems to set up algebraic equations to solve for perimeter. There are also some word problems to set up algebraic equations to solve for angles in a...

Let physical science stars experience Newton's first law of motion by blowing marshmallows out of cardboard tubes! Using different lengths of tubing, they find that more force is needed to overcome increasing friction, and they have a...

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...

Third graders, using technology tools, determine the total height of their classmates in both inches and centimeters. Once the measurements are taken, they enter the results in the Excel file. Once students have prepared a KidPix number...

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

First graders are introduced to how to use a ruler and its purpose. Using a boomerang, they estimate its length and then measure it using a string and ruler. In groups, they practice the same exercise with various objects while...

In this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

Third graders get into groups of two. Next, give each student a piece of butcher paper that is long enough for them to trace their entire body. One person lies down while their partner traces the outline of their body. Upon completion,...

Students convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Third graders will sing 2 songs that are written and played by the teacher and relate to the task of measuring.They recognize and pick up a 1-foot standard ruler and be able to identify the marks on the ruler, including inch and parts of...

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

First graders observe ice melting and water evaporating. They experiment with sugar and water and read the poem "Matter Really Matters." They define vocabulary words and sing a matter song.

Second graders design and sketch a model house. For this technology lesson, 2nd graders construct their house using teacher provided materials. They present their finished project and explain their design in class.

Learnersinvestigate three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, pupils calculate the volume of cylinders using the given dimensions. They create a formula base don observation before using the real formula.
