Students complete several activities that have to do with aging.  For this body changes lesson students take group averages, measure flexibility and see their changes over time.

Students figure out the mileage from one state to another using a map. In this map lesson, students look at the scale factor and turn it into a fraction. They measure the distance between two cities and use the proportion to find the...

Students prepare their garden plot. For this gardening lesson, students use the Internet or book on plants to make sure the plants they have selected will be able to grow in their garden. The students assess and mark out the garden...

Sixth graders create a grid of their fictitious store. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders use a computer to measure out the floor of their store and create furniture, doorways, windows, and more. This lesson includes directions for...

Students investigate the concept of measurement and using a ruler with accuracy up to 1/16 of an inch. They practice using measurement with a ruler in different contexts. To help with the presentation of the lesson a PowerPoint slideshow...

In this math worksheet, young scholars convert American standard units of length measurement in 30 problems. Included are conversions to inches, feet, yards and miles. There are no hints or examples on the page.

In this standard measurement of length worksheet, students solve 11 problems in which inches, feet, yards and miles are converted.

In this standard length measurement worksheet, students solve 16 problems in which inches, feet, yards and miles are converted.

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various situations in variations. First, they find the constant of proportionality when given each variable measure. Then, students...

In this customary length worksheet, students solve 5 multiple choice problems where they must choose the better estimate of customary length. Students then answer 9 fill in the blank problems and 1 word problem, where they must convert...

Money and measurement are often expressed as decimal numbers. Here are 20 well-worded problems intended to put decimal numbers in a real-world context. Learners will add, subtract, multiply, and divide to determine the answer to each...

Meteorology learners explore the weight of air, layers of the atmosphere, and air pressure action through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on group activities. Enough discussion prompts, background information, student...

This problem solving PowerPoint presents a detailed, logical sequence of steps to follow in order to solve a story problem. The thinking processes described are given in text and represented by a visual model. After discussing the...

Jada has a rectangle board that is measured in inches. Young learners confirm their understanding of converting inches to feet. Then they find the area in square feet. Jada thinks she has a short-cut to convert inches square to square...

Learners will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Students investigate the purpose of map scale and how it is used to measure the distance and the size of objects.

Learners measure a sculpture of a human and measure other students. They determine the average size of humans and create a life size image of the sculpture. They work with percentages as they create the images.

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...

In this math review for grade 2 (2.3) worksheet, 2nd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about measurement and geometric shapes.

Introducing measurement can be as simple as reading a book and then using measurement tools to understand how big a foot really is. The class reads and discusses the book How Big is a Foot? by Rolf Myller, stopping often to consider...

Sixth graders measure circumference and diameter to the nearest eighth of an inch, record measurements on a spreadsheet, and use the internet to complete a "scavenger hunt" of facts concerning pi.

Young scholars make a flying wheel and measure its flight.

Students measure distances. In this proportions lesson, students use a map to find how far it is between different cities. Students use their knowledge of measurement, multiplication and fractions to find the distances.
