By now your class most likely has experience using a ruler, but they may not have learned to measure length to the quarter inch. This handout begins by explaining how, and then gives learners an opportunity to estimate these more...

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Third graders construct fraction strips to play several math games. Using different colored construction paper, they assemble the strips and play Order the Fractions and Fraction War. With a pair of dice, 3rd graders roll fractions...

A set of 49 cards can enhance fourth graders' math vocabulary. It provides a pair of cards on each sheet, one with the word printed in bold text, and the other with the definition of the word. Topics of the cards include mostly...

Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

Pupils observe and determine what their lung capcity is. They fill a two-liter bottle completely with water and place the cap back on. Students fill a dishpan half full of water. They place the cap-end of the bottle into the water in the...

A complete lesson on dividing whole numbers by other whole numbers and getting a fraction result. Groups of learners use fractions bars, and strips of paper that are cut to specific lengths. The hands-on activities in the lesson are...

Students follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday decoration. In this Christmas art activity lesson, students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques and experiment with the negative...

Starting with a paragraph of information presenting the different ways we can observe planetary objects, pupils work through these instructions to see how they can observe and measure angles.  Your class will discover how these...

Parallel lines seem so right for each other. It's too bad they'll never, ever meet. Learners use tracing paper to discover relationships among angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal. They apply this information to find...

Learners observe the sky and weather to gather data. They conduct experiments to answer questions about the sky and weather phenomena. They measure, analyze and present data. They create sky windows by gluing sky colored paint chips...

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

In this imperial units activity, students read the definitions to the following list of imperial units: mile, pint, gallon, foot, inch and pound.

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. They measure the height, radius and diameter of cylinders. Following given formulas, learners calculate the area and volume of the cylinder. They compare cylinders and predict...

Third graders view and measure common body parts to find a fathom, a span, and inch. They discuss the historical information about how standard English measurements came to be and why body parts can no longer be used as a standard...

In this converting imperial units learning exercise, students complete converting 12 metric units from imperial units to metric or vice versa.

Students explore measurement in terms of pizza toppings. In this math lesson plan, students draw a circle using string and a ruler, determine areas of different size circles, find how many two topping pizzas can be made using 14...

Learners engage in a study of mean, median, mode, and range in order to represent data in tables. They are also exposed to the results of data that is skewed because of the outlier.

Students investigate how organic matter increases the amount of water soil will hold. For this water soil lesson plan, students use soil and measure water amounts using organic matter. Students measure the water holding capacities.

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

In this circles worksheet, students fill in 6 fill in the blank statements about circles and solve calculate the answers to 13 questions involving different measurements of circles.

Second graders, using one inch grid paper, create a foot long and a yard measuring tool.

Students investigate metric measurement. In this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

Second graders work with liters and milliliters for measurement.
