Students accurately measure several common objects using the industrial ruler. They work individually to analyze whether given objects would meet the correct specifications required for a particular manufactured product.

In this metric measurement worksheet, students solve 20 fill in the blank questions related to metric measurement, converting metric units, area of rectangles, picture graphs, patterns, geometric shapes. Students then convert 9...

Precise measurements make the job easier! One of the challenges when using an inclined plane for testing comes from pupils not using exact measurements. They often rely on books that slide or different ramp lengths when experimenting. By...

In this measurement activity, students read about two illustrated weather instruments. Students answer 5 questions about the reading.

Students participate in a Metric Olympics event and use metric measurements to measure actual performances in their events. They throw a plastic straw for a javelin event, participate in a long jump and high jump event, and a variety of...

Students research measurements of the moon and Earth as well as the distance between the two in order to create scale models of the Earth-moon system. With a marble to be used as the moon, they must determine how large to make Earth...

Accompany instruction and the celebration of El Dia de los Muertos with a loaf of Pan de los Muertos. Here, scholars measure ingredients precisely to create tasty bread, write a remembrance for someone who has...

First graders measure 10 different objects found in the classroom, including their own hands and feet, then record their findings. This is a fun lesson plan for students to experience measurement using a ruler and unifix cubes.

In this measurement instructional activity, students use a measuring tape to measure suggested items located in the classroom, such a table or desk. Students measure to the nearest 1/16th of an inch. They calculate the surface area of...

It's imperative to be as precise as possible. Future engineers learn about precision by building a cardboard machine. The base, corners, handles, and paddles must all be assembled with precision or the machine won't work.

A second attack at figuring out the number of leaves on a tree, this activity makes both an excellent follow-up to version 1 and a stand-alone activity. Learners practice setting parameters and deciding acceptable estimate precision, and...

Students measure irregularly shaped bones, once using a variety of measurement methods and tools, and then again using standard conventions and metric tape measures. They explore firsthand that standardizing data collection makes...

In this measurement worksheet, students write 4 questions that can be answered by making measurements. Students also use estimate the measurement for 4 given objects.

Students review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

In this measuring star temperatures, students find the temperature of a star using Planck's curve and the Wein Displacement law. Students also find the peak wavelengths for given stars using Planck's curve.

For this home school support worksheet, 2nd graders review the process of measuring with a six inch ruler with a home support person. They practice by measuring small items around the house to the nearest inch.

Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

A comprehensive practice exam, this resource covers many areas of chemistry. The test includes 71 multiple choice questions on topics such as problem solving, chemical equations, chemical formulas, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

How do dilated line segments relate? Lead the class in an activity to determine the relationship between line segments and their dilated images. In the fourth section in a unit of 16, pupils discover the dilated line...

Does doubling mean everything doubles? Learners adjust the scale factor between two rectangles. Using the calculated measurements, pupils investigate the ratios between the lengths, perimeters, and areas of the rectangles.

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

In the eyes of children the world is a simple place, objects are either big or small. This simple activity aims to expand the comparison language of young mathematicians as they use the words taller and shorter to compare their...

Triangle centers and the segments that create them easily become an exercise in memorization, without the help of engaging applications like this instructional activity. Here the class investigates the measure of center that is...
