Understand the measurement process and the need for standard units.

Students visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure the heights of older students using large building blocks as a non-standard unit of measure. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in...

This task requires students to make some sensible approximations of the amount of gas needed for a drive. They must choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities. Aligns with N-Q.A.1 and...

Discusses how the metric system of measurement was developed and provides tables of unit conversions within the metric system, within the Imperial system, and between the two systems.

This site allows you to convert weight/mass measurements. For example converting tons to grams. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units

At the completion of this lesson, 3rd graders will understand how to compare the lengths of various objects. This lesson plan has detailed instructions that include pictures and videos.

The goal of this task is to give students a context to investigate large numbers and measurements. Students need to fluently convert units with very large numbers in order to successfully complete this task. The total number of pennies...

For this task, learners are shown a unit circle in a plane and an angle measured from the x-axis. They must determine the coordinates of the line segment for the angle and answer a question about the sum of the coordinates. The purpose...

This lesson plan familiarizes students in grades 4-6 with using the metric system and performing conversions.
