Students demonstrate how math is used in everyday life. In this math investigation instructional activity, students develop a class-list of ways they use math everyday. Students define math vocabulary words, such as "counting," "daily...

Students accurately measure several common objects using the industrial ruler. They work individually to analyze whether given objects would meet the correct specifications required for a particular manufactured product.

In this math worksheet, pupils use non-standard measurement to measure 5 classroom items and record the data. Students use their fingers and then ask a classmate to do the same. Pupils compare the data and answer 2 questions about the...

Young scholars explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson plan, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Young scholars apply this knowledge to find circumference and...

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.

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Young scholars create a bar graph from...

Third graders measure time and length. Through the use of video and technology, they explore key elements of measurement, such as units and conversion between units. They explore alternate units of measurement and apply measurement to...

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.

Pupils create a sextant. Using their sextant, students measure the height of tall objects. Pupils explore how sailors used sextants to identify their location on the ocean. They research how sextants are created.

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

Students understand the concept of how to use different measurement tools for specific purposes. Students take pictures of various objects that can be measured using a digital camera and then making a power point presentation.

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

Students 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.

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

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.

Young scholars explore what work is, measure work done in moving an object, and tell how energy is related to work in both machines and the human body. In this measuring work lesson plan, students walk up a flight of stairs, measure the...

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students practice measuring items with non standard units. For this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

Eighth graders demonstrate knowledge of metric tools by measuring common objects in the classroom. They discuss the various units of metric measurement and the scientific tools used to take them. They copy a metric ladder from a Web site.

Students discuss the different ways we use numbers in everyday life. They walk around the classroom for 5 to 10 minutes, students are asked to point out examples of numbers they find in the room. Students are asked to image a world...

Students practice solving math equations by analyzing chocolate recipe measurements. For this chocolate baking math lesson, students read about the Hershey factory and recipes used to create chocolate bars. Students solve problems and...
