A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this worksheet walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase...

Learners investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...

Elementary schoolers learn about metric units and how they are used by engineers. They learn how engineers use the units to measure mass, distance, and volume. Then, they estimate measurements of units, and compare them to actual...

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

Students convert among liquid measurement units. In this measurement lesson plan, students use Visual Thesaurus to gather information about customary units for liquid measure such as cup, pint, and quart, then students practice...

Students explore the benchmarks that measure the ups and downs of the stock market. They also set up a diversified portfolio and trade stock indices for the Global Stock Game (GSG).

Second graders explore estimation and measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 2nd graders use footsteps to measure distances around the classroom. Students sing songs to measure the number of beats from one area to the...

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

Sixth graders convert customary linear measurements. They explore using ratios to convert from inches to feet, ounces to pounds, etc. In groups, 6th graders complete conversions. They explain to the class how to solve their problems.

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length lesson, 5th graders examine several household items and must decide if they want to use a pencil width, piece of paper, or their thumb to measure the item....

Upper graders define perimeter and area of a rectangle, estimate numbers of cubes and determine the maximum amount that will fit in a given space. In this math lesson, pupils complete related worksheet, build prisms and find volume and...

Learners examine different types of non-standard measurement. In this measuring instructional activity, students utilize their fingers, palms and feet as measuring tools. Learners discuss the difference between measuring using parts of...

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Students explore the concept of liquid measurements. In this liquid measurement lesson, students convert liquid measurements from cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.

Young scholars measure their height and then they will input the information into a spreadsheet. After the data is entered, students will use the material gathered to create a bar graph showing the heights of people in their class.

Learners practice counting, measuring, and predicting. In this early childhood lesson plan, students identify numbers 1-101, rhyming words, and repetitive words using Long Train by Sam Williams. Learners build their recall skills by...
