Students investigate measurement conversions using a visual demonstration.  In this mathematics conversions instructional activity, students create an image of a plastic gallon jug using a paint software program.  Students...

Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.

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

For this metric system worksheet, students convert measurements of volume from the English system of measurement to the metric system. They also convert within the metric system and answer questions about volume measurements.

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

Students use distance measuring tools to follow directions and chart the path the pilgrims made from Plymouth, England to Boston, Massachusetts. In this Pilgrim voyage lesson, students use a map to chart the distance traveled by the...

Students investigate the states that water may take. In this physical science lesson, students read the book, Water: Up, Down, and All Around and recall the states of water from the book. Students examine how water takes the shape of its...

Students collect, observe, sort, and measure leaves. In this leaf lesson, students take a walk to collect leaves. They bring the leaves back into the classroom to observe, sort, and measure them. They visit a website to learn more about...

In this measurement worksheet, 2nd graders calculate four metric conversions, including inches to centimeters and ounces to millimeters.  

In this SI units worksheet, students read about converting from SI units to non-SI units. They are given a conversion chart and they use it to convert from one unit of measurement to another in seven problems.

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert twelve metric measurements using conversion factors to show their work.

In this area worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include the measurement of various figures. First, they determine the area of each of the triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. Then, students determine...

For this metric system worksheet, students solve five problems including filling in a chart with the metric system prefixes and their meanings, converting numbers to scientific notation and converting from one unit of measurement to...

Serve up angle measurements on paper plates. Pupils use paper plates and paper-folding techniques to create a unit circle with conversions for special angles. Using their plates, learners explore the relationship between angle...

It's not just a slideshow, it's a lesson on mass. First, learners complete a mental math warm-up, where they determine the number before and after a series of given numbers, then they form groups to weigh packages and compare mass....

Getting the right measurements can save a lot of time and money in the real world. Learners are introduced to unit conversion and how to accurately go from one unit to another. The first pages are notes and then the packet finishes with...

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

With instructions to adapt the activities for any grade K-12, any teacher can incorporate the concept of scale into the classroom with a simple, yet effective lesson.

Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this upper-elementary math lesson on measuring time and distance. Using Google Maps, students first measure and compare the distance and time it takes to travel between different...
