Students investigate metric measurement. In this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

For this math worksheet, students convert metric measurements to standard and back. Students convert inches to cm and mm using an information chart to help.

Students practice converting measurements using System Internationale (SI). (The metric system is now called System Internationale.) In groups, students measure various objects in the room using the SI system and the standard unit of...

Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...

Eighth graders measure height and shadow length of other students on a sunny day and develop a ratio. They apply the ratio to other students and objects using shadows to determine height.

Young scholars measure their bodies. In this math lesson plan, students record their height and weight. Young scholars measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students use, read and write with metric units. They practice converting from larger to smaller units. Afterwards, they construct a scale drawing of a bridge. In addition, they construct these two designs, using the same scale of 1cm to...

Fourth graders participate in an activity measuring length, weight and capacity. They incorporate physical movements to help them explore measurement.

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

This lesson focuses on unit conversion, proportions, ratios, exponents, and the metric system. Discuss measurement with your math class and demonstrate how to solve several health-science word problems. Give learners a chance to visit an...

Students measure their smile with a piece of string, which is then measured on a ruler (metric of course!). They take a piece of string and cut it to the length that matches their smile and then measure it with a ruler.

Young scholars will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the...

Students use a ruler or meter stick to practice their metric unit and estimation skills by measuring everyday objects. First, students estimate the measurements of five distances as larger or smaller than a meter. Students then measure...

In this converting metric units of length worksheet, students convert thirty metric units of length as directed by following the instructions on the worksheet.

Students participate in a metric measurement game. For this metric system lesson, students evaluate metric measurements using various objects in their environment.

Young scholars apply estimation strategies and proportional reasoning to determine a scale comparing the planetary bodies to Earth. They convert measurements of time and distance using scientific notation. Both the metric and customary...

Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson plan for the...

Young scholars calculate the traveled speed and distance of a robot. In this geometry lesson, students use the distance formula to manipulate and use to solve for the required variable. They calculate answers where two...

Have you ever wondered how many ants make up an elephant? Inquisitive minds will be amazed as they use scientific notation to compute and compare the mass of an elephant to an ant. Have participants make guesses and see how close they...

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

Students practice how to calculate volume using mummy cases. They measure using ancient Egyptian, U.S., and metric systems. They explore how to convert measurements into different systems, and discuss ratios.

Young scholars practice converting measurements into metrics. In groups, they translate a recipe from English into German and convert all measurements into metrics for the recipe. They examine the difference between United States and...
