Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

Student observes and measures the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief that the length of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

Students use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.

Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.

Second graders examine the metric system. In this metric system lesson plan, 2nd graders compare measurements of common objects in metric units. Students compete in a garden scavenger hunt.

Second graders listen to the story Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard and James Marshall. In this literature lesson plan, 2nd graders predict the story's ending with drawings and discussions within groups.

Students know the six simple machines and explain what they do and how they have changed the lives of humans.

There is more to congruency than just looking similar. Learn the difference and calculate the matching angles and sides to prove the congruence between figures. Lesson has step-by-step slides and follows with an assessment. 

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

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

Students understand the concept of how to use different measurement tools for specific purposes. Students take pictures of various objects that can be measured using a digital camera and then making a power point presentation.

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Students discover math measurements by creating a skit with classmates.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize objects in a paper bag and index cards to create a short skit focusing on debate over the size of the objects....

Students construct a weather vane using their knowledge of some geometric shapes. In this weather lesson, students work in pairs to create a weather vane in order to measure wind direction. Students follow precise...

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....

In this measurement worksheet, students cut out a ruler and analyze 3 strings. After estimating the lengths, Students measure the strings and record the results.

Learners examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment with pennies...

Sixth graders sketch their own kites by creating a scale drawing of an original design.  In this designing kites lesson, 6th graders draw a rough sketch, then accurately draw their design on large paper with a ruler, measuring...

Learners predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Learners measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Eighth graders identify the different types of measurements and the instruments used to measure each type. After taking notes, they complete a bubble chart to examine the conversion between the units. To end the lesson, they practice...

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.
