A visual measuring exercise that lends itself nicely to an all-class warm up, especially as it doesn't provide room for scholars to write in answers on the sheet itself. They examine 10 rulers and determine the length in either inches,...

Three rulers offer measuring practice with inches, centimeters, and millimeters. Scholars write four measurements, two of which involve fractional units. For the metric ruler they measure the same length in both centimeters and...

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

Without measuring, can estimators determine which string is the longest? The shortest? There are two sets of strings here for learners to evaluate, circling the shortest in the first set and the longest in the second. Next, they eyeball...

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...

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...

Young mathematicians demonstrate what they know about measurement with a four-task assessment that focuses on estimation, length, and inches.

If my dog is 36 inches long, what is his length in feet? There are 24 measurement-conversion problems here involving inches, feet, yards, and miles. Two example word problems walk learners through this process before they try...

Yards or inches? Understanding measurements has a lot to do with units, so give scholars some scenarios and have them choose the appropriate unit. There are six labeled images here requiring weight, distance, length, and capacity. They...

The first 12 problems on this practice page require prealgebra participants to convert units of length. In the next eight problems, they compare lengths using inequality symbols. There are two functions tables to complete and then two...

When it comes to using a ruler, how does your class measure up? Find out with this simple measurement worksheet that asks children to determine the lengths of common, everyday items to the nearest half inch.

Youngsters improve their measuring and counting skills using sunflowers. They view pictures painted by Van Gogh. Everyone works in groups to measure sunflowers and record their findings, and they all use sunflower seeds to create...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

For this estimating lengths worksheet, students observe problems with pictures and lengths and choose the length that gives the best estimate. Students solve 9 problems.

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...

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

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, students measure the string with a ruler. They then glue their string to a piece of...

Customary units, also known as standard units of measurement, are the focus of a conversion brochure. Learners compare, identify, and convert customary units of length before folding the sheets into a brochure.

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

Third graders examine and explore a variety of ways to measure length. They discuss how to measure large objects using the end-to-end method, and in small groups measure the length of the room using the end-to-end method with a...

How many items can your learners find that are approximately one inch in length or width? Using this graphic organizer, they find nine, labeling and drawing each. A line that is 1-inch is provided at the bottom of the page, or you could...

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?"...

In this measuring learning exercise, students use a paper clip to measure how long 10 pictures of common objects are . Students then measure them in inches.
