Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site has a detailed step-by-step instruction of how to convert units of measurement. Multiplying by 1 is explained as are compound units, and finding conversion factors. The discussion is slowed down for students who may have missed...

Why are there two systems of measurement? How do we move between units in the same system? Students create and use foldables to convert measurement units.

This article describes a new approach to teaching children more than just memorizing a formula to find area and hope they don't confuse it with perimeter. This approach involves a project with real life situations....

Today students will focus on the idea that measuring an object using different length units will result in different measurements.

Understand the measurement process and the need for standard units.

Count unit squares and partial unit squares to find the area of shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly or receive step-by-step hints.

Bill Murray called it "Baby Stepping" but today we will be student stepping. The students will measure 8 different lines using their own feet!

Provides tables showing how to convert liquid measurements used for cooking between different customary units and metric units. Covers teaspoons up to gallons, as well as conversions to milliliters.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the scientific implications of measurement, and learn about system international metrics, dimensional analysis, scientific notation, and more.

This site has lesson plans and activities related to radiation. Activities include measuring radiation with a Geiger counter and observing radiation 'footprints' in a cloud chamber.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore a science investigation learning module including conversions, error, and uncertainty in scientific measurement.
