How do you write a number in scientific notation? The handout and video provide an explanation on how to convert from standard form into scientific notation and vice versa. The resource also contains a short discussion about choosing...

For this length of an arc and area of a sector worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the length of an arc in a circle with a given radius and central angle measure. Then, students...

In this measurement worksheet, students write 4 questions that can be answered by making measurements. Students also use estimate the measurement for 4 given objects.

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...

Students determine the relationship between leg length, stride length, and speed in humans and bipedal dinosaurs. They collect data and graph these human characteristics then use actual data collected from dinosaur track pads and fossils...

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Give pupils a ruler and this instructional activity so that they can practice measuring down to the quarter inch! Drawings of six various objects are depicted for them to apply their measurement skills to. The assignment concludes with...

Students differentiate between the different properties of arcs, arc lengths, chords, and chord lengths. In this circles lesson, students calculate the arc length of a given circle, and find the measure of the inscribed angles of a...

In this measurement activity, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

Second graders use a meter tape to compare the length of the Mayflower to a basketball court and make homemade butter for crackers. Afterward, all students sit inside the makeshift Mayflower's dimensions and enjoy their Pilgrim butter.

In this metric measurement worksheet, learners are given 6 pictures and they indicate the most reasonable unit of measurement for each item. They are given 10 metric measurements and they indicate the name of the unit of measurement and...

High schoolers investigate how the Earth's rotation affect the length of day. In this earth science lesson, students construct a sighting apparatus and record their observations over a few days. They analyze data collected and formulate...

For this measurement worksheet, 6th graders determine at least one object that would fit the measurements of 6 specific lengths or meters. Students write their answers on the lines provided on the worksheet.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

In this length and width learning exercise, 2nd graders draw 6 specific items or objects that are the following measurements: 6 feet tall, 3 inches long, 9 inches long, 1 inch wide, 25 feet long and 4 feet long.

Students measure using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry instructional activity, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean theorem. They apply the same knowledge to solving story problems.

Young scholars use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

High schoolers use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  High schoolers find the...
