Students learn how to measure length using US Standard Units. Practice problems are included.

Students learn how to measure volume using US Standard Units. A definitions, examples, and practice problems are included.

Students learn how to measure area using US Standard Units. A definitions, examples, and practice problems are included.

In this exercise, students practice comparing volumes with unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

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...

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.

Students will practice ordering, measuring, and labeling non-standard units of measure.

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.

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...

Students tell how long an object is by measuring it using paper clips and comparing it to other objects measured with the same non-standard unit of measurement.

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 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.

For this task, students 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 interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

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.

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

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....

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.

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 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 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...
