Send this information home with your young learners. Adults, siblings, or friends can help youngsters learn how to measure! This gives basic tips and suggests having the child draw a series of lines, and then use their 10-centimeter...

Students explore mass, volume, and weight. For this science and measurement lesson, students compare volume, mass, and weight after listening to the teacher's description of each. Students explore different scales and balances and...

This presentation introduces division as a form of measurement. Learners measure out equal groups to show how a number is divided. There are three example problems that explain how a person can measure to divide. An interesting way to...

Upper graders use the properties of right angle trignonmetry to measure objects such as the school flagpole. They solve real world problems using these properties.

Elementary schoolers complete word problems dealing with the different kinds of measurements of different shapes. They solve 10 problems including perimeter, angles, volume, and more.

These squares and rectangles have length and width measurements with decimals; can young geometers determine the exact perimeter of each? Using a step-by-step example as guidance, they show work to find the perimeter of each of these...

Students review what a cylinder is and how a cylinder is measured. They build a variety of cylinders with different heights and radii. They compare the surface area and volume of each cylinder and discuss anything that surprises them...

Learners experiment with various containers to explore standard units of liquid capacity. They create a diagram to illustrate the liquids and units of measurement that each container holds. Each student is then challenged to compute...

In this classifying angles activity, 7th graders identify and complete 17 different angles illustrated on the sheet. First, they use the key given to outline each angle. Then, students use a protractor to measure each angle and determine...

Although the objective to this measurement activity isn't entirely clear, it is definitely usable in a few ways. There are six images of different creatures, each with a height and weight listed. Learners label each creature by filling...

In this measuring length worksheet, students measure 8 line segments to the nearest 1/2 inch. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this measuring length worksheet, students measure the length of given line segments. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this measuring length worksheet, students find the items illustrated in the classroom and measure their lengths to the nearest inch and centimeter. Students then use the measurements to solve the two word problems.

In this measuring by hand instructional activity, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

First graders discover that there are two types of standard measurement using a ruler: centimeters and inches. They use the inches side to measure pipe cleaner "worms"; straigthening them out and laying them on the end of the ruler with...

First graders practice measuring. For this measuring lesson, 1st graders read the story How Big Is a Foot? by Rolf Myller. They measure a partner using standard (ruler) and nonstandard (feet) units.

First graders learn how use a ruler to measure common items. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders examine the numerical markings on rulers and learn that each number stands for a unit of measure. They measure 5 classroom items after...

In this measurement worksheet, students complete a set of word problems using measurements of 2 ball parks shown at the top of the page. Answers are included on page 2.

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

In this measuring with body units worksheet, students read examples of unusual units of length based on the body, then use these measurements to record estimated and actual length measurements of 5 common objects.

In this measurements worksheet, students fill in the missing measurements to the vegetables soup recipe. Students follow the clues and fill in 5 missing measurements.

First graders explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore measurement techniques as they use containers to measure capacity. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this measure and graph worksheet, students use paper clips to measure various lengths shown, then bar graph their results, a total of 4 measurements.

In this measuring worksheet, students practice measuring length to the nearest inch by first estimating and then measuring the illustrated objects. In the second set, students use a ruler to measure the given lengths and draw a line for...
