A Mass of Pennies

Measuring length with nonstandard units is the focus of this word problem worksheet. Youngsters problem solve using cubes, paper clips, footprints, and pencils. They solve six problems.

Here is a very good estimating and measuring length with nonstandard units activity. Learners use paper clips and toothpicks to estimate and measure the real objects pictured in each problem, then write ten answers.

I like this measuring with nonstandard units instructional activity! Learners use paper clips and connecting cubes to estimate and measure real objects, and solve 17 problems.

Challenge your second graders with a worksheet on units of measurement! Not only do they put their measurement skills to the test, but kids practice word problem strategies as well. The second part of the resource prompts learners to...

Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

It's not just a slideshow, it's a lesson on mass. First, learners complete a mental math warm-up, where they determine the number before and after a series of given numbers, then they form groups to weigh packages and compare mass....

From temperature and mass, to length and volume, there are many different types of measurement. Expose young learners to a variety of measurement tools using this slide show of real-life pictures. Go through the presentation one image at...

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....

Students experiment with unconventional units (toothpicks, etc.) to estimate and measure. They consider the advantages of using standard measuring units.

Looking for a good lesson on measurement? This one could be for ytou! Learners select and use appropriate nonstandard units to measure and compare lengths and weights of real-life objects. They use problem-solving skills to design a...
