A comprehensive guide for learning all about capacity with definitions, units of measurements, conversion, solved examples, and practice questions.

A lesson plan for students to practice measurements with different sized items using both standard and nonstandard units.

This article describes a new approach to teaching children more than just memorizing a formula to find area and hope they don't confuse it with perimeter. This approach involves a project with real life situations....

Today students will focus on the idea that measuring an object using different length units will result in different measurements.

Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Understand the measurement process and the need for standard units.

Count unit squares and partial unit squares to find the area of shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly or receive step-by-step hints.

Bill Murray called it "Baby Stepping" but today we will be student stepping. The students will measure 8 different lines using their own feet!

This site has a detailed step-by-step instruction of how to convert units of measurement. Multiplying by 1 is explained as are compound units, and finding conversion factors. The discussion is slowed down for students who may have missed...
