Eleventh graders practice reading a basic blueprint for a closet. Using the blueprint, they identify the parts, measure and cut the wood and square a wall. They review safety procedures and use hand tools to attach a track to a cement...

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....

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Students investigate measuring as it relates to the real world. In this geometry instructional activity, students measure distances as they discuss fractals and how it relates to measuring. They measure both linear and non-linear distances.

Young scholars examine how trees are measured and the different methods used.  For this density lesson pupils divide into groups and practice the different methods.

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  For this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

First graders use various models to learn the Commutative Property of Addition. In this Commutative Property lesson, 1st graders use other students, counters, balances, and dominoes to apply the addition property. Students solve addition...

In this math worksheet, students fill in the graphic organizer for the measurements and area of several different types of living spaces.

In this science experiments and measurements worksheet, learners answer 6 questions about experimenting, SI units, and conversions. They convert 6 measurements from one metric unit to another.

In this angles worksheet, students use protractors that are on the sheet to measure the angles asked. Students measure 6 different angles.

In this data collection activity, students write the data that can be collected about bluebirds and nests and the tools they would use to collect this data. Students complete 14 rows of data.

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Learners develop an understanding of measurable attributes of circles; develop a formula to determine the circumference of circles. They approximate the value of pi.

Students explore Earth science by completing a could identification activity. In this weather lesson, students discuss the different forms of measurement for the weather of Earth. Students discuss global warming and examine a list of...

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...

Sixth graders explore cooking by creating food in class. In this ingredient measurement lesson, 6th graders discuss some of their favorite foods and review the proper recipes to cook them. Students utilize fractions to create a new...

Third graders view and measure common body parts to find a fathom, a span, and inch. They discuss the historical information about how standard English measurements came to be and why body parts can no longer be used as a standard...

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

I hate doing laundry, even if it is an independent living skill that requires me to count money, follow a sequence, and sort clothing by color. Learners with multiple disabilities discuss what laundry is, why they need to do it, and how...

Elementary math classes calculate the area of a shape and explain the correlation between the size of the perimeter and the areas that can be contained within that perimeter. They also explain the effect the shape of the perimeter has on...

Rain gauges, thermometers, and wind vanes. After reading a short article about weather forecasting, readers identify the tools meteorologists use to predict the weather.

Young ratio masters calculate and cut a frame (out of poster board) to accurately create an even frame around a picture of themselves. The frame needs to be proportional to the picture with constraints determined by the instructor. 

There is only one area calculation problem here, and it is followed by a detailed explanation. Consider projecting this as a teaching tool, covering the answer until learners have shared their own. They are instructed to draw a rectangle...
