Cups and Cubes

In this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders estimate then measure 4 different objects using paper clips and cubes. Definitions of measuring weight, length, and capacity are provided.

Students examine and discuss a variety of ways to measure length, capacity, and weight. They estimate and measure a pencil's length using Unifix cubes, estimate and fill a measuring cup with Unifix cubes, and weigh a calculator in a...

Explore probability with beginners using these multiple-choice visuals. They determine what they are most likely to choose from a bag by examining the contents. Each bag has three types of similar objects with one more prevalent than the...

Youngsters develop mathematical vocabulary with this worksheet. First, give youngsters time to identify their vocabulary words in the picture provided. Then, as a group, practice saying the vocabulary words aloud. Finally, have learners...

Geometry.... sweet! Using sugar cubes, learners build rectangular prisms of different sizes and shapes. They glue them together and assess volume. Then they color the outer sides to visualize and compute surface area. To make a visceral...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. Students measure growth of the seedlings every few days using non-standard...

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Third, fourth, and fifth graders participate in measurement centers. They visit six different centers: standard and linear measurement, clocks, weight, volume, temperature, and converting measurements. They complete a data collection...

First, second, and third graders explore elapsed time through estimation and prediction. They work with a partner to estimate how long it will take to perform various tasks. One person uses a stop watch to time his or her partner...
