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

Geometers learn how to measure the area in square units. They use the floor in the classroom as a visual to measure a square foot area. They use classmates to fill the space and expand the measured area square foot by square foot until...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Students explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

Students work in groups to make accurate measurements. In this area and perimeter measurement lesson, the student groups determine what they will measure and what tools they will need, then find the accurate measurement or area,...

Young scholars explore the concept of baking cookies. For this baking cookies lesson, students work in groups to correctly make a batch of cookies. Young scholars must convert measurements in order to determine the correct amount of...

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,...

Seventh graders investigate standards of measurement and metric units using a game to show the importance of standards of measurements. In this measuring lesson plan, 7th graders are grouped together and each group represents a foreign...

Explore metric measurement, recording data, and creating an electronic spreadsheet displaying results with your math class. Scholars will measure the length of their smiles, record the measurements, and represent the results on an...

Students measure the angle and distance of an arc. In this projectile lesson, students observe arcs created by water guns, bow and arrows, and slingshots, then work in small groups and use protractors and strings to measure the angle and...

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Sixth graders measure different objects using one inch and centimeter cubes as a reference. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders construct inch and centimeter rulers then measure objects while also converting units of measurement.

Students draw and measure angles. In this angle measurement instructional activity, the teacher demonstrates how to form and measure angles while explaining the parts of an angle, then students practice.

Students discover the metric system through video clips and Internet activities. In this measurements lesson, students practice using the units of measure for the metric system and compare them to the less popular English system....

In this science worksheet, students concentrate on attaining new knowledge of the science standard using the creative medium of games and puzzles.

Learners measure their smile with a piece of string, which is then measured on a ruler (metric of course!). They take a piece of string and cut it to the length that matches their smile and then measure it with a ruler.

Seventh graders use a protractor to measure angles and solve a problem involving distance. For this measuring angles with a protractor lesson plan, 7th graders calculate the distance of a line on a diagram by using a protractor to...

Students identify and create angles. In this angle measurement instructional activity, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students find the sum of the angles of a polygon and construct a polygon given the number of sides. In this polygon lesson plan, students draw large polygons on the floor of the room. They measure the length of each side and the interior...

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Middle schoolers explore angle measure as they estimate angle measure and measure and draw angles of less than 360 degrees. The lesson emphasizes the use of estimation when measuring angles.

Students measure the volume of a clear container using a candle and sand. In this measuring volume lesson plan, students time how long a candle stays lit in a clear glass container. They fill it with sand and find the volume and then use...

Learners 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 using an...

Learners take a closer look at their personal diets. In this personal health lesson, students watch "Extreme Measures," keep personal health journals, and discuss the obsession with perfect bodies. The instructor may also invite...
