Students investigate the relationship between metric length measurement and English length measurement units. They watch a demonstration of the use of centimeter and millimeter rulers before practicing using the Ladder technique to...

What measurements are shown on these rulers? Learners read eight rulers and record the indicated lengths in centimeters. There are no fraction answers. Remind kids to write the units into the measurements. Extend this by assigning...

In this surface area and volume learning exercise, 10th graders identify and complete 3 different problems that include determining the surface area and volume of cubes. First, they use their ruler to find the width and height of each...

Third graders describe the composition of our solar system. They recognize the names of the planets in our solar system and compare and contrast the nine planets that orbit the sun.

In this comparing and measuring lines worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which 3 similar lines are measured and the result recorded in centimeters. Students tell which of the 3 lines is longest.

Conversion immersion — it's measuring mania! A set of four activities teaches scholars to convert between customary and metric units. Resource covers unit conversions in length, temperature, weight/mass, and volume.

Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

In this Formulae worksheet, 10th graders identify and solve 9 different problems that include using particular formulas as given in each set of instructions. First, they determine the perimeter of a rectangle using the formula given....

In this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders, using provided rulers, measure pictures of animals to determine their length. They estimate both length and width of given items and choose the correct answer from a list of multiple choice items.

Students manipulate several metric measuring devices to become competent in their use. Students work cooperatively to complete a worksheet based on the Golden Ration. Students observe example of sculptures from different cultures and...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students measure three lines in each problem and write the length in centimeters. Students then tell which is longest. There are 4 problems.

Students will be offered numerous opportunities to further enhance their observational skills as well as the integration of math with their continual exposure to the metric system, measurement, and graphing to represent their data....

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

Eighth graders demonstrate the use of instruments of measurement. As a class, they take notes and observe the proper procedure for using a graduated cylinder, a ruler, and a balance/triple beam balance. In groups, 8th graders visit...

Students create a simple paper parachute. In this parachute design lesson, students examine the effects of the wind and make napkin parachutes.  

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...

In this length, weight and measures 2 worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines to match three objects to the tool needed to measure each one and the unit of measure used in metric.

In this length worksheet, students convert measurements of length from one metric unit to another. They measure line segments, indicate their measurements and read a metric ruler.

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...

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...

In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...
