Student observes and measures the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief that the length of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

Students use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

Students discover math measurements by creating a skit with classmates.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize objects in a paper bag and index cards to create a short skit focusing on debate over the size of the objects....

Middle schoolers experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

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...

What is the difference between area and volume? Have your charges build models of square centimeters, square inches, square feet, square meters, etc. It's definitely challenging, but there is no better way to learn than by trying...

Third graders explore their height and weight. They measure the heights and weights of their peers. Students record their data using an Excel spreadsheet. They create a graph to compare the data and analyze it for a correlation between...

Turn your algebra learners into meteorologists. Students are given three graphs that contain information about the weather in Santa Rosa, California during the month of February, 2012. Graph one shows temperatures, graph two displays the...

Solving triangles is a breeze. Young boat enthusiasts solve problems involving triangles in the context of sails on a boat. They must apply different strategies, including the Law of Cosines and area formulas.

Stockings make your legs warmer and math more enjoyable. A drag-and-drop interactive has pupils take stockings out of drawers to calculate probabilities. This includes dependent events where the probabilities depend on previous stocking...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Young scholars participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Fifth graders look at different ways to measure rice. In this rice measurement instructional activity, 5th graders see the metric and customary measurements. They discuss how rice is measured by length, area of the field, weight, volume...

For this arcs and chords worksheet, 10th graders solve 7 different types of problems related to identifying arcs and chords in a circle. First, they find the measure of each arc to the nearest tenth, if O is the center point. Then,...

In this scale drawings worksheet, 5th graders learn to solve measurement problems using scale drawings and models for the six word problems.

In this using customary units of length worksheet, 5th graders answer 10 multiple choice questions on paper, not online,  about length in inches, feet, yards and miles, with answers available online.

Students measure items using non-standard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, students listen to Dr. Seuss', The Foot Book, before using oak tag feet to measure items. They use a large foot and a smaller one to measure...

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

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Middle schoolers convert U.S. customary measurements into larger or smaller units with the help of conversion charts. They are explained that they are going to use conversion charts in problem solving situations. Pupils use a...

In this measurement worksheet, middle schoolers use the chart and a calculator to convert each measurement. They also show their work for each and round their answers to the nearest hundredth.
