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

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 use bathroom scales, rulers and boards to explore how to measure their own center of gravity.

Students build a precipitation gauge. In this weather lesson, students follow step-by-step directions to build a precipitation gauge that can be used to measure snowfall.

Students observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Pupils measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics instructional activity, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then...

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

Learners collect data from mealworms. In this science and math lesson plan, students gain an understanding of collecting metric data using mealworms.

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, learners solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding capacity and measurement. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

In this sound speed activity, students use paper towel tubes and rulers in partners to test where sound comes from. Students follow 5 sets of directions, answer 1 question, and fill in a chart.

In this capillary action worksheet, students follow directions to see the ability of liquids being drawn up into small spaces using beakers, paper, rulers, food coloring and more. Students follow 8 sets of directions and write a...

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Students review the concept of measuring length. In groups, they travel to various centers throughout the classroom. They experiment with using different objects to measure the length of items given to them by their teacher. They are...

Students investigate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students estimate and measure the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle. This assignment has an online part that is interactive.

Second graders develop spatial sense, such as above and below. In this spatial sense lesson, 2nd graders go on a scavenger hunt and to piece together the clues. Each clue has a question using spatial vocabulary. 

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Students investigate track and field dimensions, measure an actual track, and construct a scale model. The use of a meter stick, dimensional analysis, and the application of the distributive property to variables forms the main focus of...

Students explore, examine and experiment with pasta sticks to discover the triangle inequality principle. They assess if any three lines or segments fit together to form a triangle. Each student also completes a Triangle Recording Chart...

Students explore the concept of scale. In this scale instructional activity, students are given directions scaled in inches and students must convert them to feet. Students take a section of a map and create a bigger scaled model of...

Eighth graders study the scientific fields and how information can be monitored and recorded.  In this scientific inquiry lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a hands on activity.
