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 identify various units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students learn several chants that combine metric vocabulary words and actions to reinforce the concepts learned.

Students practice estimation skills for measurement, and work with metric units of measurement.

In this mass measurement worksheet, students find the missing numbers by converting the metric units of mass. Students then study the pictures and choose the better estimate of the mass of each. Students compare the final metric units by...

In this measurement worksheet, students use the list of commonly used prefixes in the metric system to write each of the given equivalences for mass measurement. Then they state the names of each of the listed units on the sheet.

For this changing metric units worksheet, students use their problem solving skills to solve 64 problems that require them to convert weight measurements.
