Upper graders solve problems involving measurement of squares and rectangles to practice multiplication skills, finding area, and calculating prices and percentages. A performance assessment is included.

Students explore the realms of measurement. For this math lesson plan, students analyze and solve problems in which rectangles with identical perimeters are compared to maximize or minimize area. This lesson can be extended for algebra,...

Young scholars learn basic measuring techniques by measuring a chair. In this measuring lesson plan, students are asked to measure the various parts of a chair, and then record their measurements. Then they have to calculate different...

Pupils measure muzzle velocity, and predict range of a projectile device.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab and explain the outcomes of their experiments. 

Students investigate a particular object then calculate to find the class average and standard deviation.  In this measuring distance lesson students list their calculations on a piece of paper. 

Explore equivalent fractions! Youngters measure the crown of their head with adding tape labeled with various fractions and fractional parts, and compare strips to notice numerical relationships. They fold adding tape in half and color...

Students use tiles to find area. In this finding area lesson, students explore how to use square tiles to make shapes, then look at how they can be used to measure area. Students then explore how an area can be covered with different...

Students recognize and observe weather phenomena. In this four part weather lesson, students are introduced to weather symbols through a story, then use a thermometer to measure water temperature. Next, students observe the formation of...

Students explore how to use a metric ruler to measure length, accurately read and record measurements taken in centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), and collect and analyze data using a stem and leaf.

Pupils explore the concept of scale. In this scale lesson, students are given directions scaled in inches and pupils must convert them to feet. Students take a section of a map and create a bigger scaled model of the section.

In this ESL vocabulary learning exercise, students cross out the measurement words in the diagram by following the 10 directions. Students read the leftover words that creates a proverb.

Young scholars explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Young scholars collect their boomerang data then...

Students practice working with the metric system. Students use a metric ruler to measure and record lengths of group member's smiles, and graph their results. Students find the sum of all the smiles.

Students practice working with the metric system by measuring and recording the lengths of their smiles.

Students measure the length of student smiles and then record, order and graph their results.

Students take measurements using a metric ruler, find a sum of multiple metric measurements, and use a histogram to graph their results.

Students explore the Dollper effect by finding the frequency and velocity of sound.  In this velocity lesson, students determine the impulse during a collision by using their data and a software program.

Learners explore circumferences, diameters, and radii. In this math lesson plan, students measure circumferences in inches and compute radii and diameters, given different circumferences.

Seventh graders measure the diameter, circumference and radius of a circle and find pi using the diameter and circumference. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in groups to find the diameter, radius, and circumference of circles....

Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

Learners calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. For this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...
