Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Young scholars measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Young scholars use unconventional units of measure to estimate and measure.

Fifth graders compare the relationship between meter in music and measurement in math. They practice sightreading music by determining the number of beats per measure, clapping and counting the rhythm.

Sixth graders convert metric units of measurement. Classmates observe the use of a mnemonic for conversions. In groups, 6th graders practice converting metric units. They use a chart to describe how to convert between metric units of...

Students investigate and measure using the metric and customary units. In this math lesson, students investigate which method is used most worldwide, the metric or the customary. They convert from unit to the other.  

Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

Students explore estimating and measurement with the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. They read and discuss the story, estimate and measure their own height, circumference, and length of their foot, and draw and paint a giant using...

Third graders explore measurement. For this estimation and measurement lesson, 3rd graders examine visual examples using standard units to measure length. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Students investigate how much wood is in a forest. In this forestry lesson, students calculate how much usable wood comes from the forest. They will read, Sizing Things Up from Trees + Me = Forestry, measure firewood piles, and create a...

Fourth graders explore perimeters. In this measurement lesson, 4th graders examine example problems that highlight how to calculate the perimeters of rectangles in inches and centimeters. Students also practice solving problems that...

Students investigate measurement. For this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

Second graders measure weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 2nd graders model how to measure amounts of liquid by using containers that measure one cup, one pint, and one quart. Students compare the mass of each...

Mathematicians measure intersecting lines-and circles, and create chords. In this geometry lesson plan, students explore interrior and exterior chords created by tangent and secant lines. These segments can be inside the circleor outside...

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

High schoolers observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Young scholars follow the directions on the attached worksheet to construct shapes using Geometer's Sketchpad. To start the lesson, it is suggested that the teacher guide the students through the initial problem. When constructions are...

Second graders practice measuring the lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, 2nd graders use paper clips to measure objects in the classroom. Students use larger paper clips first and record their answers, then use the...

Fourth graders complete a worksheet about approximate measurements. In this lesson on approximation, 4th graders compare the wingspan of a given bird to the wingspan of other birds and classroom objects.

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

Young scholars observe and solve examples of corresponding angle postulates, alternate interior angle theorems, and exterior and consecutive angles. They complete the Determining Angle Measure With Parallel Lines worksheet.
