Students will be using a hands-on approach to learning about length, capacity, and weight. This instructional activity contains a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video tutorial.

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

First graders continue to measure floor strips with a choice of three different units.

How do we understand the difference between inches and centimeters? Why does measuring a given object in centimeters always give a bigger number than measuring the same object in inches? This lesson includes detailed plans, printable...

The students will be working on a hands-on exploration of the metric system where the scholars will be developing their own benchmarks to navigate through choosing the best unit of measurement.

Why are there two systems of measurement? How do we move between units in the same system? Students create and use foldables to convert measurement units.

In this lesson, students will use hands on inquiry in cooperative learning groups to understand, develop and analyze common measurements used by astronomers. Students will use common objects such as straws, twizzlers, or toothpicks to...

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....
