This is a great measurement lesson plan with a literature connection, "Inch by Inch" by Leo Lioni. It uses a variety of activities where students use the inch unit.

Second graders will be able to estimate the lengths of objects by mentally partitioning the lengths into inches. A video, worksheets, and a detailed lesson plan are included.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students will generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch and show the data by making a line plot. This lesson includes an...

Students practice measuring techniques by measuring different objects and distances around the classroom. They practice using different scales of measurement in metric units and estimation. Also, students learn how measurement is used in...

Second graders will be able to estimate the lengths of objects by mentally partitioning the lengths into inches.

This activity gives the students the opportunity to see what an inch really looks like. It also provides them with a chance to be creative using various inch materials and to create a visual for what an inch is. It is a great lesson to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students are asked to estimate the measure of objects in inches, feet, or yards. Includes video demonstrating a sample problem [0:36] and a...

This video lesson [2:15] will walk you through using a ruler to measure the distance between endpoints. It is 2 of 10 in the series titled "Measuring a Line Segment." Students can take a short review quiz when finished....

This lesson plan offers an opportunity for students to learn to measure length by fractions of an inch, inches, feet, yards and also change one unit of length to another.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart students are introduced to using a ruler to measure to the nearest inch. Student will measure items by dragging them to the ruler. Activotes are used to assess understanding as you go

Students use three tracks marked on the floor, one in yards, one in feet and one in inches. As they start and stop a robot specific distances on a "runway," they can easily determine the equivalent measurements in other units by looking...
