Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Use this fun activity with youngsters learning how to use rules for measurement. Each is provided with six steps that direct them to draw specific things with specific heights or lengths. For example, they start by drawing a tree that is...

Here is a good lesson which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and nonstandard...

Third graders examine and explore a variety of ways to measure length. They discuss how to measure large objects using the end-to-end method, and in small groups measure the length of the room using the end-to-end method with a...

Investigate the length of various objects in metrics! In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders estimate and find the length of objects in the classroom using centimeters.

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson plan gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it...

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Young scholars define length and area. They identify materials that can be measured with a rule and yardstick. They measure length and area when given an object.

For this mathematics worksheet, students model a batting stance with a regulation size baseball bat. Then they model the batting stance with a souvenir miniature baseball bat. Students measure the length of each bat in centimeters and...

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! For this measurement lesson, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

Fifth graders use concepts of measurement to record the dimensions of a pencil. The unit of a pencil is used to compare it as part of a larger measurement like a yard. Students convert equivalent fractions accurately. Students also...

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

For this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders, using provided rulers, measure pictures of animals to determine their length. They estimate both length and width of given items and choose the correct answer from a list of multiple choice...

Conversion immersion — it's measuring mania! A set of four activities teaches scholars to convert between customary and metric units. Resource covers unit conversions in length, temperature, weight/mass, and volume.

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

The accuracy required by the design and measurement of an Olympic running track will surprise track stars and couch potatoes alike. Given a short introduction, the class then scaffolds into a detailed analysis of the exact nature of the...

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. For this measuring lesson, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches to...
