Antarctica is a big place, large enough to provide ample opportunities to learn about math. A two-week unit teaches middle school mathematics concepts using project-based learning. The resource covers functions, geometry (area,...

Master metric measurements. Given the fact that the volume of one milliliter of water is one cubic centimeter, scholars figure out the volume of one liter of water. They must determine the correct unit of length for a unit cube that...

How to oceanographers measure the sea's depth? Your scientists will step into their shoes in this application instructional activity, first reading about how the speed of sound and a simple formula give scientists a depth estimation....

In this metric measurement worksheet, students solve 20 fill in the blank questions related to metric measurement, converting metric units, area of rectangles, picture graphs, patterns, geometric shapes. Students then convert 9...

In this quantitative data worksheet, pupils compute measures of central tendency, draw vertical line diagrams, and compare collected data. This 23-page worksheet contains approximately 100 multi-step problems. Explanations and examples...

Review general math skills before that quiz!  25 questions in five categories - number sense, computation, geometry and measurement, algebraic thinking, statistics and probability.  Tip: have each student use a white board to...

Raise the bar in your third grade class with this learning exercise on bar graphs. Youngsters view three graphs representing three different sets of data, and answer questions based on what they analyze. The first set is completed as an...

Bring money and measurement together by practicing rounding decimals to the nearest whole number. Three sections prompt fourth graders to round to the nearest dollar, the nearest meter, and the nearest whole unit. Use this activity as an...

Do your third graders get nervous when working with larger numbers? Help them get some practice subtracting big numbers in different contexts. After working through twenty-two straightforward problems, four of which include units of...

Turn your classroom into a greenhouse with a lesson plan on plant growth. First, investigate the different parts of seeds, identifying the seed coat, cotyledon, and embryo. Then plant the seeds and watch them grow! Measure the new...

In these angles and geometry worksheets, students learn about different kinds of angles, angle measurement, and other geometry facts. Students complete 15 questions.

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson plan, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

Students measure irregularly shaped bones, once using a variety of measurement methods and tools, and then again using standard conventions and metric tape measures. They explore firsthand that standardizing data collection makes...

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

In this body fat measurement worksheet, students will conduct an experiment to determine how the "under-water weighing" technique of measuring body fat works. Once the experiment is complete, students will complete 1 short answer question.

Students identify and categorize different problem situations or contexts using one of four measurements to solve the problem. Through guided and independent practice, they discover ways to determine which measurement to use when...

In this measurement worksheet, students write 4 questions that can be answered by making measurements. Students also use estimate the measurement for 4 given objects.

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Students explore a few key concepts associated with measuring biodiversity. They are told that biodiversity can be measured in a number of ways. Genetic diversity is a measure of the genes represented in the sample. Ecosystem...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

In this measurement activity, students read about two illustrated weather instruments. Students answer 5 questions about the reading.

Students measure the volume of a clear container using a candle and sand. In this measuring volume lesson plan, students time how long a candle stays lit in a clear glass container. They fill it with sand and find the volume and then use...

Young scholars use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object...

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.
