Here is a very good estimating and measuring length with nonstandard units instructional activity. Learners use paper clips and toothpicks to estimate and measure the real objects pictured in each problem, then write ten answers.

Here is a very good measurement worksheet. Four problems are solved in which objects at home are measured using the specified nonstandard measurement units such as toothpicks, footsteps and teaspoons.

In this metric measurement of length activity, students find the 4 real objects pictured and estimate the length in centimeters. Students then measure and record the lengths in centimeters or meters.

I like this measuring with nonstandard units worksheet! Learners use paper clips and connecting cubes to estimate and measure real objects, and solve 17 problems.

Pupils study angle measurements between different types of angles associated with parallel lines and transversals. The independent practice asks pupils to identify the types of angles in a diagram and to determine the measure of...

Add visual representation to teaching place value with a magnitude model. Using adding machine tape, pupils build a linear place value strip from 1 to 100.

Why was the obtuse angle upset? Because it was never right! A valuable resource is loaded with background information on types of angles and lines. Learners review the characteristics of parallel, perpendicular, and...

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...

Explore angle relationships associated with transversals. Pupils construct parallel lines with a transversal and find the measures of the angles formed. They figure out how the different angles are related before constructing...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

This lesson introduces the idea of slope and defines it as a numerical measurement of the steepness of a line. Pupils then use the definition to compare lines, find positive and negative slopes, and notice their definition holds for...

Youngsters think about the length of different periods of time. They label the seven most common units of time measurement, then answer eight questions that have to deal with those same units of time. A good worksheet!

In this metric worksheet, students complete conversions, choose best measures for given items, then solve comparisons and 2 test prep questions. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Six questions make up a mixed practice worksheet. Scholars use their knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, money, perimeter, ounces, and pounds to solve word problems with numbers up to 66,000.

An informative lesson contains a brief explanation of how the sum of the angles of a triangle is a line. The lesson continues with determining the missing angle in a triangle, or solving for a variable. Using the sum of the...

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

Sports fans will really enjoy this unit conversion assignment. A table of standard measurements for football-related equipment is presented as the data for solving six word problems. For all of the problems, players will need to convert...

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

Need to know if your students comprehend all the Common Core standards covered in second grade? This growth assessment will let you know.  Find out if your second graders can add/subtract, tell the time, read a bar graph, know their...

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous lesson, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert fractions to like...

Determine whether two triangles are similar. The lesson plan presents opportunities for pupils to find the criterion needed to show that two triangles are similar. Scholars use the definition of similarity to find any missing side...

Is it a right triangle or not? Introduce scholars to the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem with a instructional activity that also provides a proof by contradiction of the converse. Pupils use the converse to determine whether...

What is the typical length of a yellow perch? Pupils analyze a histogram of lengths for a sample of yellow perch from the Great Lakes. They determine which measures of center and variability are best to use based upon the shape of the...

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...
