Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to...

Teach the masses about the metric system with this hands-on measurement lesson. Given a fruit or vegetable, learners estimate, measure, and convert its mass using the metric units gram and kilogram.

Young scientists learn that seeing isn't necessarily believing when it comes to the states of matter. After performing a fun class demonstration that models the difference between solids, liquids, and gases, children complete a series of...

Learners explore addition fact families. In this addition and subtraction fact family math instructional activity, students click and drag objects on the Smart Board to create visual representations of fact families. Learners use fact...

Fourth graders explore weight in pounds. In this measurement instructional activity, students estimate the weight of teacher-provided objects, measure the actual weight of the objects using scales, and discuss food products sold by the...

In this balancing a scale learning exercise, 3rd graders observe two different types of wooden beads on three scales to answer each of the three questions. Students draw each bead at 2, 3 and 4 ounces and answer 2 word problems.

Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Students will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....
