How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to...

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson plan gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it...

Geometers learn how to measure the area in square units. They use the floor in the classroom as a visual to measure a square foot area. They use classmates to fill the space and expand the measured area square foot by square foot until...

It's 3:30, what radian is it? Pupils create clock angles on a clock and determine the radian measure to the minute hand. They then use a conversion factor to convert from one measurement to another.

As one changes, so does the other. Scholars use an interactive to see how changes in the measure of one angle of a complementary or supplementary pair of angles affect the measure of the other angle. They answer a set of challenge...

Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring instructional activity, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students...

First graders discover that there are two types of standard measurement using a ruler: centimeters and inches. They use the inches side to measure pipe cleaner "worms"; straigthening them out and laying them on the end of the ruler with...

Sixth graders measure different objects using one inch and centimeter cubes as a reference. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders construct inch and centimeter rulers then measure objects while also converting units of measurement.

For this math worksheet, students convert standard measurements. Students give the equivalent of the standard measurements. Hints are given if needed.

Students define length and area. They identify materials that can be measured with a rule and yardstick. They measure length and area when given an object.

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.

In this volume activity, students solve and complete 10 different problems that include determining the volume of books in a library and their weight. First, they complete the table with the weight, number of days and number of boxes...

Investigate how similar and congruent figures compare. Learners understand congruent figures have congruent sides and angles, but similar figures only have congruent angles — their sides are proportional. After learning the...

Build angles from angles. Using the Angle Addition Postulate, learners find the measures of unknown angles. The interactive simulation shows a visual representation of the postulate and allows individuals to manipulate the angles and...

Future mathematicians use an interactive to see how changing the size of a basketball court and the size of a region in the court affects the probability that a ball will randomly fall within the specified region. No calculations are...

In this comprehensive diagnostic test worksheet, learners examine, study, calculate and solve 38 math problems. They work with a variety of basic math concepts and word problems.

Students explore the concept of measuring length using a one-inch pipe cleaner "inchworm." They listen to the story "Inch By Inch by Leo Lionni and discuss how the animals were measured by the inchworm in the book. In pairs students...

First graders measure the length of pipe cleaners to form worms using rulers to focus on inches. They record their results and graph the measurement of each pipe cleaner. They measure their pipe cleaner "worms" in various colors and...

In this measurement worksheet, students use liner measure with a provided ruler to determine the distance between objects. Using a map scale, they evaluate the actual distance. Students may use their knowledge of proportions to solve...

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.

Young scientists grab their measuring tapes, rulers, and yard sticks as they see how big Arctic animals really are. To conceptualize the trait of height or length, each small group will measure out the entire length of an arctic animal....
