Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

Why are there so many lines on a ruler? Scholars measure length on two rulers, one standard and one metric. They measure in inches, millimeters, and centimeters with the centimeter measurement including a fraction. Because these are the...

In this Froot Loops to the Max worksheet, students solve 12 problems relating to Froot Loops being a unit of measurement. First, they determine the measurements for each if 18 Froot Loops equaled 1 foot. Then, they write and explain why...

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

Pupils measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Which of these is the best tool for the job? Learners examine a measurement scenario and determine which of five tools would be the right choice. There is only one problem, and the worksheet includes pictures. Because the answer is...

Are your scholars beginning to learn how to measure? Use these images to help them use precision and include units in their answers. There are 10 objects; each one is measured against a row of boxes, which represent different units for...

Practice measurements with your scholars using this word problem. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, this would work best as an all-class warm up. Cover up the answers until after kids have shared responses. They...

Young scholars learn how to measure length using inch units.  In this measurement lesson plan, students use two different units of measure to measure the length of a Leopard Shark and then use pattern blocks to measure its...

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

Geometers learn how to measure the area in square units. They use the floor in the classroom as a visual to measure a square foot area. They use classmates to fill the space and expand the measured area square foot by square foot until...

Young mathematicians demonstrate what they know about measurement with a four-task assessment that focuses on estimation, length, and inches.

Fahrenheit? Celsius? What's the difference, and where did these two temperature scales originate? Your pupils will learn all about these topics by reading the passage included here. After reading, individuals respond to five questions...

For this math worksheet, students convert standard measurements. Students give the equivalent of the standard measurements. Hints are given if needed.

Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to...

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring...

Parallel lines seem so right for each other. It's too bad they'll never, ever meet. Learners use tracing paper to discover relationships among angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal. They apply this information to find...

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement lesson, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different objects...

In this volume activity, 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...

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

In this measure conversion worksheet, 3rd graders answer ten multiple choice questions based on converting measurements.
