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...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students addition and subtraction of length units.

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

Children will learn about and explore measurement to successfully design a dog house for his or her cutout paper dog. Each section of this weeklong adventure is introduced by a video clip or online game that encourages children to...

[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....

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

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

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...

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...

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

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.

In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...

Were off to get the measure, the wonderful measure of side! The students will identify the longest side of an object and measure its length with a variety of non standard units.

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...

How do you compare to these results from Olympic Games in the past if you try similar running and jumping activities? This activity uses the history of the Olympic Games to introduce ideas about measuring time and distances in standard...

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.

The problem requires students to not only convert miles to kilometers and gallons to liters but they also have to deal with the added complication of finding the reciprocal at some point. Aligns with N-Q.A.1.

This module looks at the history of measurement, beginning with non-standard units, the advent of standard units (in this case metric), and when approximation or precision would be needed.

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.
