Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

Agriculture surrounds us every day; incorporate measuring tools into a study of Oklahoma's agricultural industry! Small groups read an informational text (included) before visiting stations where they investigate prices of various...

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Sprouting scientists explore the concept of density by making mass and volume measurements for five different liquids. From these measurements, they calculate densities. They apply their learning to explain Galileo's thermometer works...

In this surface area and volume instructional activity, students solve and complete 3 different decomposing rectangular solids. First, they use the given formulas for surface area and volume to calculate the measurements of each of the...

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Students measure the volume of a clear container using a candle and sand. In this measuring volume lesson plan, students time how long a candle stays lit in a clear glass container. They fill it with sand and find the volume and then use...

In this volume problem instructional activity, students determine the volume of various objects. They compare similar objects and determine the percent of increase and decrease of the surface area and volume. This one-page instructional...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

In this volume worksheet, students take notes on the various ways to measure volume depending on if the substance is liquid, an irregular shaped solid, or a regular shaped solid.

In this identifying units of measure learning exercise, students estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric...

In this experimental design and measurement worksheet, students answer questions about independent and dependent variables, they write hypotheses, they identify instruments that measure mass, weight, and volume and they calculate the...

In this volume worksheet, students participate in an experiment to test the volume in a few food containers. Students complete an experiment and then answer six comprehension questions regarding the results of their experiment.

Students identify and categorize different problem situations or contexts using one of four measurements to solve the problem. Through guided and independent practice, they discover ways to determine which measurement to use when...

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume lesson, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

Young scholars measure angles, perimeter, area and volume. In this geometry lesson, students define different ways to measure and solve for the perimeter, area and volume of geometric shapes. They analyze and process information to help...
