Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

In this measuring to the nearest half-inch worksheet, 4th graders solve 4 problems about measuring pictures on the page and common objects, then write the data in a chart.

In this measuring length worksheet, students measure 8 line segments to the nearest 1/2 inch. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this standard measurement worksheet, 3rd graders measure pictures of 5 objects to the nearest half inch. They measure pictures of items such as scissors, a pencil, and a crayon.

Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson plan. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your young scholars.

In this customary units of length worksheet, students draw five lines with different lengths, measure five lines to the nearest half inch and estimate the length of five widths.

Measure lines in inches using the most common tool of measurement: a ruler. Young mathematicians use a ruler to measure various lines. They also learn to round the the nearest quarter when measurements are not precise.

Measure a tree? Yes, measure a tree! Students get outside and measure a tree's trunk, crown, and height. Each group compares their answers to determine if any re-measuring is necessary. Once back in the classroom, students make bar...

Third graders find the perimeter of a polygon. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders use yardsticks to measure straight-lined objects to the nearest 1/2 inch. Student choose a "mystery object," find the perimeter, and record it on the...

Rounding fractions is the focus of a six-question interactive designed to boost concept proficiency. A measured beaker's water level increases and decreases as mathematicians move the tool to represent specific fractions. Questions...

Children solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various items measured (wooden blocks and boxes). This is a particularly good lesson plan to use when introducing how to use a ruler and how to add inches...

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

Fifth graders use concepts of measurement to record the dimensions of a pencil. The unit of a pencil is used to compare it as part of a larger measurement like a yard. Students convert equivalent fractions accurately. Students also...
