Students explore measurement. In this math lesson, students measure how far they can jump using blocks. Students compare the results when different sized blocks are used. Students estimate the distance jumped.

Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Fifth graders complete an introduction to the Geometer's Sketchpad software. They explore various beginning functions and practice using required tools. Using the sketchpad, 5th graders measure given angles. They complete follow-up...

Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry lesson, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Learners calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Students explore weight. In this math activity, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Eighth graders convert metric measurements.

Students investigate the relationship between metric length measurement and English length measurement units. They watch a demonstration of the use of centimeter and millimeter rulers before practicing using the Ladder technique to...

Students experiment to find out how rain is measured. In this rainfall measurement lesson plan, students experiment to observe the effects of rainfall and how much of it fell.

Learners describe the range and various measures of central tendency using shoe sizes from a video. In this range and measures of central tendency instructional activity, students use the same data set to identify the concepts of range,...

Young scholars study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Young scholars discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra instructional activity, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Middle schoolers experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Learners work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Students enjoy the excitement in the short story, Cook-A-Doodle-Doo! In this Cook-A-Doodle Doo! lesson plan, students work to tell the difference between fact and fiction, learn vocabulary, and compare and contrast different stories.

Students share opinions about the factors that contribute to or detract from their happiness. They create survey to determine how people in their community measure happiness, and write reflections on the relationship between money and...

Students explore measurement and the comparison of length.

Third graders explore a strategy for finding elapsed time by using a number line. They identify what elapsed time means. Students investigate a concrete visual representation of time to compute elapsed time. They read, " The Grouchy...
