Measure lines in inches using the most common tool of measurement: a ruler. Young mathematicians use a ruler to measure various lines. They also learn to round the the nearest quarter when measurements are not precise.

Pupils learn everything from how to take scientific measurements, to accuracy/precision, to density and a plethora of topics from a presentation on the metric system.

There are seven rulers here and scholars determine the measurement of each, some in inches and some in centimeters. The answer options are listed. Although there are some fractions involved, they are only at the half-inch or centimeter....

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

Fourth graders become familiar with fractional parts of a ruler.  In this measurement lesson, 4th graders measure various objects to an 1/8 of an inch.   Students measure a piece of paper based on teacher direction....

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring...

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your students.

Are your scholars beginning to learn how to measure? Use these images to help them use precision and include units in their answers. There are 10 objects; each one is measured against a row of boxes, which represent different units for...

Starting with a paragraph of information presenting the different ways we can observe planetary objects, pupils work through these instructions to see how they can observe and measure angles.  Your class will discover how these...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

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...

Students develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving object,...

Students measure a variety of objects using the appropriate measuring tool. In this measurement instructional activity, students explain the importance of accuracy and precision in collecting data. They discuss the difference between the...

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.

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...

Send this information home with your young learners. Adults, siblings, or friends can help youngsters learn how to measure! This gives basic tips and suggests having the child draw a series of lines, and then use their 10-centimeter...

Students explore tessellations. For this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

The written form for 345 is three-hundred forty-five, where as the word form for 70% is seventy percent. Here, young mathematicians read 10 sentences and write the word form of each number in the sentences.

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.

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.
