Don't stuff money under your mattress. To find out why learners first complete a task determining how $24,000 in cash would affect the height of a mattress and whether this same amount would fit into a suitcase of given dimensions....

Combine geometry and algebra concepts to solve a modeling problem. Young scholars consider the effect surface area has on volume. They write a cubic function to model the possible volume given a specific surface area and then...

All together now! Physical science pupils observe the effects of temperature and amount of substance on pressure and volume of a gas. The interactive resource guides learners through the Combined Gas Law, where they observe changing...

Similar shapes are all about the scale. Given seven problems, pupils use scale factors to determine measurements within similar shapes. While solving the problem, scholars also determine whether two figures are similar and use...

Fahrenheit? Celsius? What's the difference, and where did these two temperature scales originate? Your pupils will learn all about these topics by reading the passage included here. After reading, individuals respond to five questions...

You don't want to be short bananas when making bread. Scholars use their math skills to make sure there are enough bananas to go around. Using measurements given in a recipe, they must determine how many bananas they need to increase the...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure volume and capacity by doing 2 activities. Students use a hollow box, cubes, and measuring cups to measure volume and capacity.

In this surface area and volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that includes various types of solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area for each figure given certain measurements. Then, students...

In this volume learning exercise, 6th graders solve 5 different problems related to determining the volume of various objects. They determine the volume of a rectangular prism, a cone, a cube, a pyramid, and a cylinder.

Children use the length, width, and height of an object to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. They observe how to multiply three numbers at a time, and define volume. Pupils observe as the teacher demonstrates how to determine...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Students practice measuring with formulas. For this measurement lesson, students complete an activity that requires them to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.

Students investigate measurement. In this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

High schoolers identify rectangular volume calculations, and calculate using formula, concrete table, and calculator.

You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Students are taught that the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures based on the meter for length, the kilogram for weight, and the liter for volume. They research how to convert from imperial units of measure to the...

Quiz the class on which unit of measure would be most appropriate when determining the weight, volume, height, or distance of eight different objects. This quiz reviews liters, kilometers, milligrams, and centimeters. 

In this conversions worksheet, students complete 8 problems where they convert liquid volume measurements such as gallons, quarts, ounces, pints, and more.

We know solids have a density we can measure, but what about liquids? Lesson explores this concept and allows scholars to explore the relationship between volume and density. Graphing and analysis questions round out the activity. 

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...
