Here is a good lesson which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and nonstandard...

Here is a challenging presentation that will get your mathematicians working! They must convert using non-standard units of measure. Here is an example: a pencil is 12 buttons long, how many toothpicks long is the pencil? An interesting...

In this measurement worksheet, 2nd graders estimate the measurement of objects by deciding whether they should be measured in inches or feet. They find the objects and complete the actual measurements. They complete 1 test prep question.

Mia's pet lizard has grown a lot since he was a baby and she needs help measuring his length now that he's an adult. After choosing the best tool for the job, RJ goes step by step through the measurement process, modeling how to use both...

Students identify units of measurement. For this measurement lesson, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Is there a relationship between hand span width and height? Statisticians survey each other by taking measurements of both. A table that can hold data for 24 individuals is printed onto the worksheet, along with questions for analysis....

Longer, shorter, inches, and feet are all vocabulary words that accompany the concept of measurement. Here are 16 slides that ask learners to determine which objects are longer or shorter than a given length. Great for 1st or 2nd graders!

In this measurement learning exercise, students determine which of 3 measurement tools would be used to answer 4 mathematical questions. Students circle their multiple choice answers and then draw or write an explanation for each answer.

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

Fifth graders complete nine problems in which they work with converting customary units of length such as feet to yards, and yards to miles. They compare measurements using inequality signs in six examples, and answer two test prep...

If you're measuring a bicycle, would you use inches, feet, or yards? What about when you measure a shoe, or a flagpole? Explore measurement with this worksheet, which prompts third graders to use their critical-thinking skills. Three...

Try introducing this assigment on converting measurement by presenting a scenario: "Last night I found a recipe for cookies, and it called for a half pint of butter. All I had was measuring cups - what should I do?"...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

Second and third graders explore the size of their bodies. They use string to measure parts of their body in small groups. After measuring with string, young scholars measure the string with a ruler. They then glue their string to a...

In this inches and feet worksheet, students, with a partner, estimate and measure the answers to five word problems dealing with inches and feet.
