Students memorize four key decimal values for quick and accurate conversion. They convert decimal foot measurements to inches and fractions using math tables, computation or memorization. They memorize decimal foot conversions.

Third graders explore their multiplication skills. They will use their problem solving skills to solve an everyday math problem that requires them to multiply numbers. This lesson incorporates the use a video titled "Blossom and Snappy...

Eighth graders continue their geometry unit by focusing on volume. Using data, they create a spreadsheet, estimate and calculate volume. They solve real-life problems and round their answers to the hundredths place. They also practice...

Students examine and discuss the differences between clocks they are shown. Using the internet, they research how people used to tell time before clocks. They review what the long and short hand on the clock represent and practice...

Young scholars understand that a spreadsheet can be used to find the best scale to use in a model. They place the distances of the planets of the solar system to the Sun in one column of the spreadsheet. Students try different scales so...

In this conversion worksheet, student use the factor-label method or unit analysis method to convert given measurements from one unit to another unit.

Young scholars practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Young scholars must estimate the...

In this geometry activity, 10th graders use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the third side of a right triangle given the length of any two sides.  The three page activity contains a combination of seventeen...

Students create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Second graders, using one inch grid paper, create a foot long and a yard measuring tool.
