Fourth graders explore perimeters. In this measurement lesson, 4th graders examine example problems that highlight how to calculate the perimeters of rectangles in inches and centimeters. Students also practice solving problems that...

In this error in measurement quiz, students read given problems and determine the percent of error, find the absolute error, the relative error, and identify the limits. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this measurement worksheet, 1st graders study the different rectangles and then find the perimeter of each rectangle to the nearest inch.

In this measurement instructional activity, student measure 10 pictures of common objects using a paper clip. Students then measure in inches.

In this SI units worksheet, students read about converting from SI units to non-SI units. They are given a conversion chart and they use it to convert from one unit of measurement to another in seven problems.

Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Students explore tessellations. For this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

In this math worksheet, students practice using metric and standard rulers. Kids measure 10 lines in both centimeters and inches. Students write the answers on the lines.

Young scholars explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

In this measurement instructional 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...

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.

Fourth graders study the Civil War and discuss what soldiers ate during that time period. In groups, representing Union and Confederate soldiers, they follow recipes, prepare, eat, and share Union hardtack and Confederate Johnnie Cakes.

Students hypothesize the location of the sun in the sky at diferent times of day and at different latitudes. They perform several experiments to provide evidence for their hypothesis. Experiments including observing the sun's position at...

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students calculate measurements using different units and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path that a robot drives. They use a piece of sting to do their measurement and calculate the circumference of the robot's...

In this volume of cylinders worksheet, students solve 6 word problems related to the volume of various cylinders; students find volume, find height, solve reasoning problems and measure to given specifications.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Learners explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Learners identify the multiplication values within...

In this mixed numbers activity, students fill in a mixed number chart about the length of nails. Students complete this for 9 different lengths of nails. Students measure each nail.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Fourth graders complete a variety of activities as they study the European exploration of the Midwest, focusing on Indiana. They map the path explorers took, comparing the British with the French. They research why the explorers stopped...

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...
