This teaching site has interactive exercises using different types of measurement. You will measure length, capacity, area, perimeter, time, weight, temperature, and speed.

Naida the mermaid is playing with the fish. Do you want to join her?

Students learn how to measure volume using US Standard Units. A definitions, examples, and practice problems are included.

In this exercise, students practice estimating volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly.

In this Cyberchase media gallery, the Cybersquad must try to follow a recipe exactly to create a mixture that will help cure their friend Slider. At first, the squad must find a way to ensure standard measures of the ingredients. When...

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

In this video from Cyberchase, Bianca is babysitting infant twins. As she tries to give each twin the same amount of liquid baby formula, she discovers that all the baby bottles are different shapes. Learn how she finds two that hold the...

In this exercise, students practice comparing volumes with unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

Solve word problems involving volume. Estimate the volume of items. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice estimating the volume of real life objects using milliliters and liters. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A slideshow, a karaoke song to sing along to, and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of measurement and the tools that can be used to measure things, depending on the purpose, e.g., temperature, length, mass, angle, time, etc.

The learning activity explores measurement. Students measure their hand, arm, and fingernails. Then they use their body parts to measure additional items.

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

Students can practice converting customary volume units through a series of self-check exercises and learning games.

A complete tutorial that explains time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature. Interactive practices and challenge games are included.

In this activity, students will measure a variety of different materials from the classroom to determine how much matter is found in these materials then determine the mass of these materials using the same volume for each. The data will...

Students rotate from station to station completing activities involving measurement weight, length, and volume using metric measurement.

Students learn the metric units engineers use to measure mass, distance (or length) and volume. They make estimations using these units and compare their guesses with actual values. To introduce the concepts, the teacher needs access to...
