Here is an engaging lesson which invites learners to cut a strip of adding machine tape that is their height. They decorate their strip, arrange the strips from shortest to longest, and then discuss predictions.

In this ordering measurements of length worksheet, students observe sets of three pictures and number them in order from shortest to longest. Students solve 9 problems.

Learners examine four objects and identify each as longer or shorter than their hand. They order the four objects from shortest to longest and respond to a test prep question. A good worksheet for in-class work, or for a homework...

How long of a line can you draw within this activity? Learners pick two points outside and within the map to create the longest line they can. After drawing 10 lines, learners plot the length of each line on a line plot. Then they...

Kindergartners demonstrate their ability to compare objects with a measurable attribute in common. They determine which string in a series of boxes is the longest, which cherry tree is the tallest, and write these labels on the line...

Students explore how to measure length and volume. They compare and order objects according to their measurable attributes and measure items using non-standard units. Students put 4 pencils in order from shortest to longest after...

Find the right house within walking distance from school. The short assessment has pupils determine the houses that are a given maximum distance from a school. Individuals then determine the shortest and longest walks from the homes that...

Experiment with light and dark in a series of interactive activities that lead up to reading and writing poetry. Class members have the opportunity to observe their feelings while sitting in the light and dark and to play with shadow...

In need of a set of math vocabulary cards? A kindergarten resource is guaranteed to help young mathematicians develop their math vocabulary. With 17 cards, the top half of each card has the vocabulary word printed in bold text,...

How can December 21 be the shortest day of the year when all days are 24 hours long? Pupils see how to build a model showing the differences between winter and summer solstices and equinoxes. Using this model, classes can then discuss...

Lesson 16 in the series of 28 is a mid-module assessment. Learners simplify expressions, write and solve equations, and write and solve inequalities. Most questions begin as word problems adding a critical thinking component to the...

Without using a ruler, learners estimate the relative length of various lines in these three scenarios. The first two are set up as maps, with learners determining the shortest and longest distances from one position to another. The last...

Although the graphics on this length comparison exercise aren't great, pupils will get the idea. They read an indirect length word problem, which asks them to compare three animals from shortest to tallest. The wording here may be...

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

Boat ramps move with waves and changes in water level. Scholars decide on the proper length for a ramp so the angle connecting both sides is appropriate. They visualize the situation and use a simulation to view the results with their...

First graders demonstrate their ability to compare the lengths of three objects and determine which is the longest or shortest. Pupils match the correct answer to each of the seven story problems.  All lengths are expressed in...

An incarcerated ant needs help escaping from Antcatraz. Primary graders abet his escape by creating a path through the anthill to freedom.

In this triangles activity, 10th graders solve and complete 22 different problems related to various types of triangles. First, they name the shortest and longest sides and the smallest and largest angles in each of triangles...

What did the triangle say to the circle? You're pointless! Class members will get the point when they investigate relationships between side lengths of a triangle using the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Pupils then create an...

In this length learning exercise, students number the objects in order from shortest to longest. Students use the longest side of each to determine the order of length for the 9 problems.

In this numbering objects from longest to shortest worksheet, students compare three objects in sets and number them from longest to shortest lengths. Students write 8 answers.

Geometry meets earth science as high schoolers investigate the cause and features of the four seasons. The effects of Earth's axis tilt features prominently, along with both the rotation of the earth about the axis and its orbit...

In this time intervals activity, students look at and calculate time intervals. Students are given ten problems with two times. Students are to determine how much time has elapsed between the two times.

Without measuring, can estimators determine which string is the longest? The shortest? There are two sets of strings here for learners to evaluate, circling the shortest in the first set and the longest in the second. Next, they eyeball...
