Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

In this measuring by hand activity, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement activity, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding metric and customary measurement. Students may view the correct answers.

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students examine the appropriate unit of measure to use for a variety of items, and look at which errors are commonly made. They consider the use of millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers...

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

In this interactive measurement instructional activity, students arrange the six groups of objects according to their height.                

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Although the objective to this measurement worksheet isn't entirely clear, it is definitely usable in a few ways. There are six images of different creatures, each with a height and weight listed. Learners label each creature by filling...

Second graders examine the metric system. In this metric system lesson plan, 2nd graders compare measurements of common objects in metric units. Students compete in a garden scavenger hunt.

In this shadow sleuth worksheet, students use proportions and indirect measurement to determine the measurement of given objects. This one-page worksheet contains three problems.

Here is a measurement lesson plan focusing on length. Learners use their feet as the unit of measurement for furniture in the classroom and at home, and sketch the pieces of furniture they measured.

Pairs of pupils get together in order to measure the heights and lengths of their shadows. They use these measurements in order to predict the height of other friends in class. A good activity to practice measuring things that cannot be...

Tie the unit together and see concepts click in your young mathematicians' minds. Scholars apply the properties of similar triangles to find heights of objects. They concentrate on the proportions built with known measures and solve to...

Conduct indirect measurements three ways. Working in groups, pupils come up with different ways to measure three tall objects indirectly. The teacher provides measurement information requested by the teams, and learners then calculate...

For this volume worksheet, students solve and complete 10 different problems that include determining the volume of books in a library and their weight. First, they complete the table with the weight, number of days and number of boxes...

If a can has a volume of twelve ounces, how tall it should be? If you can work with volume formulas, it's is an easy measurement to find. After finding the volume of figures in the previous lesson of the series, learners now...
