In these measurement worksheets, students measure objects in their classroom but don't use a ruler to measure. Students write what they measured and the length of the object. Students then measure the given objects in the classroom and...

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

In this math instructional activity, students complete the daily math warm-up assignment that focuses upon the concepts of measurement and conversion.

Learners, in groups, measure a variety of physical components to several activities. They use both standard and non-standard forms of measurement and then develop conclusions about the use of units in measurement.

Students identify the five main crops of Kansas and crops that are produced in other states. The categorize the types of fruits and seeds of each plant and measure each to compare the length of each.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders find the pairs of polygons that are congruent on the sheet. Then they color them the same color and use their ruler to check their selections.

Students measure various objects using non-standard units. The goal is for them to practice measuring in order to apply the physical act to various objects found in the classroom. The lesson is ideal for the kinesthetic learners and...

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Young scholars identify and use descriptive writing and measurement terms to describe a student-created robot. Then they construct robots of materials available and then use AlphaSmarts or Danas to describe the robot using only the...

Students practice math. In this measurement instructional activity, students measure their favorite candy bars to the nearest inch. They work independently to compare the different lengths of the candy bars they measure.

Students investigate a particular object then calculate to find the class average and standard deviation.  In this measuring distance lesson students list their calculations on a piece of paper. 

Fifth graders collect height and feet measurements from classmates, analyze the data collected, and describe possible patterns in this Math lesson for the 5th grade classroom. Basic tools for measuring (graph paper, dot paper, rulers,...

Students investigate their reaction times for grabbing a dropped ruler after discussing reactions times to other events such as moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. They drop the ruler from a sent height and record the time...

Students practice estimation skills for measurement, and work with metric units of measurement.

Students use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

Learners explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge. Learners...

Students discover building plans and practice reading measurements.  In this architectural design lesson, students investigate the areas of the specific World Trade Center locations that need to be rebuilt and determine the cost....

Third graders explore and identify the tools that can be used to measure length, mass/weight, and volume. They discuss how things are measured using different units, and observe the difference between the English and the Metric systems....

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

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.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students explore mathematics by participating in a nature measurement activity. In this rain activity, students discuss the appropriate methods used in order to measure rain downpour. Students utilize a plastic bottle, tape, stones...
