What do we do when a dive is too dangerous for humans to accomplish? Send in the robots! Middle school scientists get acquainted with several different models of submersible robots in the second lesson of six from NOAA. Lab groups then...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

Fifth and sixth graders subtract 15 mixed fractions with unlike denominators and reduce each one to their simplest form. They write and solve two subtraction problems for each model shown. Pupils find the value of n in four Algebra...

Send your class fishing...for the right answers! Small groups collaborate to create math word problems based on the fish in their classroom aquarium or on the aquarium itself. After all groups determine the answer for their ownproblem,...

Youngsters develop mathematical vocabulary with this worksheet. First, give youngsters time to identify their vocabulary words in the picture provided. Then, as a group, practice saying the vocabulary words aloud. Finally, have learners...

Measure angles in more than one way. The interactive introduces the concept of measuring angles from 0 to 360 degrees. Scholars explore the relationships between the angle and reference angles along with coterminal angles.

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

In this measurement worksheet, 7th graders solve 10 different problems that include using fractions. First, they determine which operation they will use to solve each problem. Then, students use addition or subtraction to solve each...

Third graders demonstrate their estimating and measuring abilities.  In this length measurement lesson, 3rd graders produce estimates of how long a handful of French fries will be before physically measuring them.  Students...

This measurement PowerPoint introduces the abbreviations in measurement. Each slide contains several clues and an abbreviation of a unit of measurement. Students identify the correct unit of measurement by considering the given clues....

Learners study the measurement formulas for area and perimeter in real-life situations. In this area and perimeter lesson, students design a bed and arrange furniture in a hotel room using area and perimeter formulas for a 7 1/2 foot...

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....

In this identifying units and tools to measure learning exercise, students observe pictures of objects, circle the standard or metric unit needed and the correct tool to measure. Students answer eight questions.

In this measurement learning exercise, 3rd graders, working with a partner, choose two different units out of five to measure the length of their classroom. Students estimate first and then measure.

In this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders measure to the nearest half inch. Students measure 4 objects, draw 3 lines, complete 1 greater than and less than problem, and 1 short answer question all pertaining to measurement.

Students use a variety of measuring devices including a ruler, yardstick, and tape measure to accurately measure objects in inches, feet, and yards. They report on these measurements, both orally and in writing.

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement lesson, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.
