Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

In this meters worksheet, 6th graders compare units of measure written in centimeters and meters. For the kinesthetic learner, students may cut out the twelve numbers. Students match centimeter units to an equivalent meter unit. There...

In this centimeter learning exercise, students read about and view examples of length in centimeters, then draw lines shorter and longer than 1 centimeter. A website reference for additional activities is given.

Third graders explore measurement. For this estimation and measurement lesson, 3rd graders examine visual examples using standard units to measure length. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Second graders practice measuring the lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use paper clips to measure objects in the classroom. Students use larger paper clips first and record their answers, then use the smaller...

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

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...

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

In this measuring length worksheet, students use centimeter cubes to measure the length for each illustrated picture. Students write the number of centimeters for each picture and add the centimeters for both items. Students write the...

In this metric measurement of length activity, students answer six questions about estimating, definition and use of a ruler.

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.

Fourth graders experiment to determine how overpopulation effects ecosystems specifically plants. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders conduct an ecosystems experiment after listening to Claire Daniel's, Ecosystems. They watch a video,...

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them....

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

In this measuring the lines activity, students use a centimeter ruler to find the metric measurements of length. Students solve 5 problems.

This measurement PowerPoint introduces the abbreviations in measurement. Each slide contains several clues and an abbreviation of a unit of measurement. Students identify the correct unit of measurement by considering the given clues....

In this early childhood units of measurements instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems pertaining to centimeters.

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

Second graders turn into measuring maniacs with this activity! With real world objects, 2nd graders practice measuring accurately to the nearest inch and centimeter. After a lecture/demo, students practice with a worksheet imbedded in...

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

In this measuring metric length worksheet, students explore the need for standard units of measure, then answer 15 questions about using metric measures of length.

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

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....

In this estimating and measuring activity, students first draw four estimating length problems on paper and then type in their answers and check their answers online as they go. Students also change twenty-four lengths into centimeters...
