Sixth graders investigate scale models of toys.  In this scale models of toys lesson, 6th graders bring in toys from home to measure.  Students discuss scale and what scale is used with their toys.  Students determine the...

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.

Which unit of measurement would you use? As your scholars begin to understand measuring, it's important they become familiar with the various units. They examine five object images and match them to one of five units: meters,...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Sometimes it's how you ask the question that counts. The sixth installment of nine from the Smarter Balanced Claim 1 Slideshow series presents a set of 13 questions to assess understanding of angle relationships as well as area and...

Are these two light sources the same? Groups use a white card and a little cooking oil to create a photometer that allows for the comparison of two lights. The Inverse Square Law provides a way to calculate the actual difference in...

Heat up some interest in solar energy. Young engineers create a water heater that runs on solar power (simulated by a lamp). Using thermometers, they determine the change in temperature before and after the water goes through the heater.

Young scholars use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems about length. They also analyze data presented to calculate ratios and percents.

Student explore estimation and measurement. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders measure french fries, graph their data, and determine the size of french fries that is the best value. Students practice how to add prices and calculate ...

Twelfth graders apply perimeter measurement to items found in newspapers and calculate the cost in terms of feet or yards. They share answers and explanations with classmates.

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Students explore pressure in our atmosphere. They examine the relationship between pressure and depth. Students construct an experimental apparatus and take measurements. Students evaluate the impact of pressure on the lungs.

Learners use simple objects to create their own barometer. They have five days to build it and ten days to observe and collect data. They examine thunderstorm safety tips to end the lesson.

Students explain necessity in using accurate instruments when measuring, and how measurements can be checked for accuracy. They make a six-inch ruler, design, test, and evaluate a system to measure work, and produce a table and graph to...

In this math word problems worksheet, learners complete math word problems dealing with maple trees, syrup, and a sugar bush. Students complete 6 problems where they click on links and that contain growth rate, percentages, measurement,...

Fifth graders look at the Garrison flag and estimate how big it is. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders then calculate the area and perimeter of the flag.

Students measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

Students identify the "4 Steps for Kids" and how they can stay safer. In this important rules lesson plan, students take measurements and refer to a chart to identify their Safety Seat Number.  Students also...

Young scholars calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students solve a problem which involves how far behind a rental truck must the driver of a car be so that he can see a stoplight from behind the truck.  The problem can be solved with similar...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve missing parts of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. There are 19 questions with an answer key.
