In this problem solving activity, students complete 7problems that include skills in fractions, calculators, money, measurement, calendars and basic operations.

Here's an algebra II activity that strives to make the concept of a radian less abstract and more conceptual. It takes a hands-on approach to exploring the idea of a radian and allows individuals to develop a definition of a...

Several subjects are addressed within the context of a science lesson about the sun's ultraviolet rays. Elementary earth scientists consider protection of the skin with sunscreens (health), estimating and measuring surface area or an...

If I want to build up my heart, where should I start? Science scholars use statistics in a sports physiology setting during an insightful experiment. Groups measure resting and active heart rates and develop a scatter plot that shows the...

An excellent lesson that encourages learners to discover how complex figures can be broken into simpler shapes when measuring area. Working with block letters, learners are given the freedom to develop their own strategies for...

This is a cool math activity. Kids collect and interpret data based on a physical act. A board is balanced between a scale and a step, learners record a peer's weight as it decreases while s/he walks further away from the scale. They...

Students practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Students measure various items in the classroom, using their creative measurement system.

Fourth graders practice measuring items with unconventional methods.  In this measurement prediction lesson, 4th graders estimate the length of items a teacher brings to class and record their predictions.  Students measure the...

In this geometry worksheet, students measure various angles. First, they write what type of angle each one is, whether right, acute, or obtuse. Then students estimate the measurement and then write the actual measurement for each angle.

For this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length and height of different objects given to them. Students complete 3 problems total.

In this angles worksheet, students estimate angles to within 15 degrees, then measure and name each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Second graders measure classroom objects using metric and English rulers to find object which meet preset lengths given to each small group. The group draws pictures of the objects they found meeting their preset limits and present them...

The graphics here aren't the best, but if you are looking to get your students warmed up for a measurement lesson, this may do the trick. First, they use stars as units of measurement for three objects. They have to pay careful...

Although it was written to use in a science class, this measurement lesson is adaptable to Common Core standards in math for measurement and data. Youngsters are introduced to two types of measurement systems. They use both the...

Elementary schoolers learn about metric units and how they are used by engineers. They learn how engineers use the units to measure mass, distance, and volume. Then, they estimate measurements of units, and compare them to actual...

Math scholars observe and demonstrate how to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders. They analyze pictures of various cylinders on a handout, solve problems on two worksheets independently, and discuss the answers to the...

Fourth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about temperature--hot and cold. Each group of students is assigned specific materials for their lab experiment. They record temperatures measured in their journals and then plot...

Students define length and area. They identify materials that can be measured with a rule and yardstick. They measure length and area when given an object.

Students study how to measure and calculate the volume of water flowing down a stream or canal and use simple tools to make measurements. Next, students determine how many people cold live off the volume of water measured. Finally, they...

In this math review for grade 2 (2.3) worksheet, 2nd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about measurement and geometric shapes.

Young scholars work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare...

Learners identify various angles and how to measure each type. They use a protractor to measure each of the angles. Students also write the name of the angle and identify the number of degrees for each.

Pupils read poems, read phrases, and create a poster for what math is and relate it back to literature. They also discuss the impact math has had on literature.

In this math worksheet, learners learn the formula for measuring the area of a rectangle by reading the information and looking at the diagram. Students find rectangular objects and measure the areas.
