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.

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.

In this units of measurement worksheet, students estimate and then measure each of the 3 pictures to the nearest inch. Students then use the measurements to solve 3 story problems.

When it comes to using a ruler, how does your class measure up? Find out with this simple measurement worksheet that asks children to determine the lengths of common, everyday items to the nearest half inch.

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...

In this measuring activity, students practice measuring length to the nearest inch by first estimating and then measuring the illustrated objects. In the second set, students use a ruler to measure the given lengths and draw a line for...

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...

In this measurement worksheet, students review the definition of an inch and use a ruler to measure the 7 objects to the nearest inch.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

In this measuring length worksheet, students find the items illustrated in the classroom and measure their lengths to the nearest inch and centimeter. Students then use the measurements to solve the two word problems.

Second graders turn into measuring maniacs with this activity! With real world objects, 2nd graders practice measuring accurately to the nearest inch and centimeter. After a lecture/demo, students practice with a worksheet imbedded in...

In this measurement instructional activity, student measure 10 pictures of common objects using a paper clip. Students then measure in inches.

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

In this math worksheet, students solve 8 problems in which they measure lines to the nearest inch with a standard ruler. There are no examples.

In this home school support worksheet, 2nd graders review the process of measuring with a six inch ruler with a home support person. They practice by measuring small items around the house to the nearest inch.

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...
