Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Your learners will construct the perpendicular bisector of a chord. They use Cabri Jr. to construct a circle and a perpendicular bisector of a chord. They then measure lengths of the chords and perpendicular bisectors. Learners use...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

In this math patterns activity, students review the beginning numbers in Fibonacci's numbers, find the pattern, follow directions and problem solve to find the Golden Number and complete a chart, measure lengths of body parts and find...

Candlelight is in the eye of the distant beholder. Scholars first watch a video clip of a commercial claiming that the human eye can see candlelight from 10 miles away. They use this information to calculate how far we can see...

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

Save those precious minutes and hours spent planning math lessons with this mini-unit on telling time. Offering a series of engaging hands-on and collaborative learning activities, these three lessons teach children how to read...

Young scholars investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. In this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on...

In this math worksheet, learners will work in small groups to measure the height of objects, such as trees, using their shadows. Students will be able to determine heights of objects that cannot be directly measured.

Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

For this triangle worksheet, students solve 1 word problem about the lengths of a triangle. Students determine the length of the longest side given the ratio of the angle measures.

In this significant digits worksheet, students are given the rules for determining the number of significant digits in calculations and measurements and they solve 5 problems.

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Students find the areas of geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson students find and measure the sides, perimeters, and areas of quadrilaterals, triangles, and circles. Students relate the measures to the others by using formulas.

Students draw triangles and explore the classification of each using the measures of interior angles and lengths of sides. They investigate the sum of the interior angles of various triangles and conjecture and prove the theorem: The...

In this length worksheet, students read about the history of a meter. Students also answer 4 comprehension questions about the reading.

Fourth graders visit a real pond. They mark the pond's curvilinear perimeter using string. They measure the string to find the actual perimeter of the pond.

In this triangles instructional activity, students measure and calculate the measurements of eight triangles, their sums and classify the triangles as acute, obtuse or right.

In this ion rocket and orbits worksheet, students read about the spiral orbit the Dawn spacecraft took due to its ion rocket motor. Students solve 3 problems including finding the path taken by the spacecraft, determining the total path...

Third graders measure wind direction. In this weather lesson, 3rd graders build a weather vane from a straw, skewer, spool, and flag. Students measure wind direction using their weather vane.

In this trigonometric ratios worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they write the degrees listed in radian measure. Then, students find the exact ratios for each equation. They also find the value of...

Students discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...

Fourth graders explore the mass and length of peanuts by pretending to parent a peanut. In this mode, median and range lesson students graph their measurements and then use them to find the mode, median and range. Students discuss peanut...
