Young scientists grab their measuring tapes, rulers, and yard sticks as they see how big Arctic animals really are. To conceptualize the trait of height or length, each small group will measure out the entire length of an arctic animal....

How are arc lengths and radians related? An interactive resource demonstrates the relationship as pupils create arc lengths in a unit circle and compare them to the angle measurements. Questions ask individuals to build upon this...

In this customary units of length worksheet, students draw five lines with different lengths, measure five lines to the nearest half inch and estimate the length of five widths.

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

In this units of measurement worksheet, students estimate and then measure each of the 3 pictures to the nearest inch. Students then use the measurements to solve 3 story problems.

In this customary length worksheet, learners solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

In this measuring worksheet, students use a paper clip to measure how long 10 pictures of common objects are . Students then measure them in inches.

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Learners measure shells using 3 different methods.  In this measurement lesson, students work in two groups to measure the length of a shell using two different units of measure.  The groups compare their results, measure the...

In this measurement worksheet, students determine which of 3 measurement tools would be used to answer 4 mathematical questions. Students circle their multiple choice answers and then draw or write an explanation for each answer.

Students examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring lesson, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Students discuss the difference between measuring using parts of their body and...

In this using a ruler worksheet, students utilize a ruler to measure the length of four objects and then choose four small objects from their desk to outline and measure.

High schoolers measure various dimensions of a male and a female dolls body and scale them proportionally to average human measurements. They calculate the appropriate scale factor (magnitude) to enlarge their doll and apply that scale...

Send your scholars on a measuring scavenger hunt with this interactive worksheet! They use a graphic organizer to record their findings as they search for items which are less than, more than, or just about one inch long. For each, they...

Students examine gravity, mass, and friction. In this speed and motion instructional activity, students investigate how straight line motion is impacted by gravity, mass, and fiction as they participate in a hands-on activity.

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

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...

Sports fans will really enjoy this unit conversion assignment. A table of standard measurements for football-related equipment is presented as the data for solving six word problems. For all of the problems, players will need to convert...

How do you convert inches to centimeters? Or pints to liters? This handy reference guide has both US to metric, and metric to US conversions in a quick, easy-to-read format. Mass, area, volume, capacity, and length conversions are...

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....

Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

In this measurement activity, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

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....
