Third graders attempt to determine the height of a telephone pole or tree without climbing to the top.

Students investigate a particular object then calculate to find the class average and standard deviation.  In this measuring distance lesson students list their calculations on a piece of paper. 

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Learners practice measuring elevation, one of the key coordinates used by astronomers. They describe how the elevation of an object is measured. and combine compass directions and elevation to find celestial objects.

For this length and height worksheet, students use the given examples for length and height to compare and determine the answers for each problem. Students circle the correct answer and then write how they can use string to compare the...

In this online math learning exercise, students practice finding the perimeter and the volume of a variety of square pyramids. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.

Students practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Students learn basic measuring techniques by measuring a chair. In this measuring lesson plan, students are asked to measure the various parts of a chair, and then record their measurements. Then they have to calculate different math...

Fifth graders collect height and feet measurements from classmates, analyze the data collected, and describe possible patterns in this Math lesson plan for the 5th grade classroom. Basic tools for measuring (graph paper, dot paper,...

Middle schoolers examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Students map the magnetic field of a room (classroom or room at home -- recommend kitchen) at two or more heights. They create a coordinate grid within the room and make a relatively accurate map of the room to super impose the...

Pupils stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....

In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.

In this geometry learning exercise, students solve word problems. They find the height and distance of triangular measurements. They identify missing angles using triangular properties. There are 10 questions.

In this measurement instructional activity, students will practice ordering numbers, Students have the heights and names of twenty-one students and must put the students in order by their height from shortest to tallest.

In this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Students experiment with the velocity of a spring. In this velocity lesson, students conduct trials in order to determine the initial velocity of a spring. They stretch the spring different amounts and fire it both horizontally and...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Second graders design and sketch a model house. For this technology lesson, 2nd graders construct their house using teacher provided materials. They present their finished project and explain their design in class.

In this perimeter, area and volume worksheet, 5th graders solve 6 word problems, then tell whether they found perimeter, area or volume.

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

In this formula worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer, answering the questions relating to: understand, plan, solve, look back. Students solve 2 problems. Houghton Mifflin test is referenced.
