[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will learn how to use standard scientific units of measurement (SI units) in biology.

In this exercise, students practice converting metric units in word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about making conversions between different types of units by negotiating with a trader at the crossroads. Practice exchanges with different measurement and currency systems in a simulation....

The goal of this task is to give young scholars 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...

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...

The purpose of this task is to have students add fractions with unlike denominators and divide a unit fraction by a whole number. This accessible real-life context provides students with an opportunity to apply their understanding of...

The principal purpose of the task is to explore a real-world application problem with algebra, working with units and maintaining reasonable levels of accuracy throughout. Aligns with N-Q.A.3, N-Q.A.1, and N-Q.A.2.

This task provides a context for translating between different units.Aligns with 4.MD.A.1.

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

Before entering first grade, young children need to have a basic understanding of measurement. They do not need to be able to use standard units of measurement, but they must be able to use the basic attributes to make comparisons in...

Before entering first grade, young children need to have a basic understanding of measurement. They do not need to be able to use standard units of measurement, but they must be able to use the basic attributes of length.

In this activity, students investigate area with nonstandard and standard units of measure. They work to plan a unique vegetable garden and calculate the costs of plants for the garden.

Blossom and Snappy discover a new window that Robbie put in the garage and decide to measure it. They discover the difference of standard measurement and non-standard measurement while making candies and during their visits to McDonald's...

Many students dream of designing their ideal bedroom. For this exercise, students will be required to limit their designs by size (as a specific volume) and price (a specific amount). They must design the floor plan, including furniture...

For the majority of recorded human history, units like the weight of a grain or the length of a hand weren't exact and varied from place to place. Now, consistent measurements are such an integral part of our daily lives that it's hard...

In this lesson students will practice finding the perimeter of regular and irregular shapes with right angles and the appropriate units for measuring perimeter.

This is a rectangle subdivision task; ideally instead of counting each square. students should break the letters into rectangles, multiply to find the areas, and add up the areas. Aligns with 3.MD.C: CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.6 Measure...

For this task, students use a piece of string or another tool to measure the radius of the circle and then mark off the corresponding arc length on the unit circle as many times as they need to for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 radians. They...

In this lesson plan students determine the unit rate when given ratios of fractions.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

Mila is comparing fruits at the fruit market. Join her on this adventure!

This task provides an opportunity to compare the relative volumes of boxes in order to calculate the mass of clay required to fill them. Aligns with 5.MD.C.

In this activity, students study English to Metric conversions. They investigate the relationship between inches and centimeters by measuring their height in these units and converting the measurements.

A lesson to cover the standards about line segments. In this lesson, 2nd graders will measure and record the length of a line segment. Students will also compare lengths of a line but adding and subtracting line segments.
