Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

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

Introducing measurement can be as simple as reading a book and then using measurement tools to understand how big a foot really is. The class reads and discusses the book How Big is a Foot? by Rolf Myller, stopping often to consider...

Students investigate the purpose of map scale and how it is used to measure the distance and the size of objects.

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

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...

Learners explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

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...

The student will measure the width of the horns on drawings of longhorn cattle and then convert the measurements from inches to centimeters and from inches to feet.1. Review with students the steps required to measure an item and to...

First graders, after reading about cattle drives, measure the width of the horns on drawings of longhorn cattle and then convert the measurements from inches to centimeters and from inches to feet. Ranching and the American cattle...

Student measure heights and graph them using growth charts for which they find the mean, mode, and median of the data set. They graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system.

In this elementary math worksheet, 3rd graders solve the four problems that focus upon measurement, fractions, and a word problem.

In this perimeter worksheet, students find the perimeter of given regular and irregular polygons. This four-page worksheet contains 20 problems. This interactive worksheet may be completed online or printed for paper use.

In this customary length worksheet, students solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

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

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...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders answer questions about right triangles by identifying the 3 sides of the triangle. They analyze the different shapes of polygons and relate them to right triangles to find the sides using the...

In this metric learning exercise, students read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Young scholars solve problems using the metric system. In this algebra lesson, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

Second graders research distance between planets and the sun using encyclopedias. They use toilet paper sheets as a unit of measurement (50 million km.) students stand at planet locations using toilet paper to measure distance between.

Sixth graders investigate scale models of toys.  In this scale models of toys lesson, 6th graders bring in toys from home to measure.  Students discuss scale and what scale is used with their toys.  Students determine the...
