Students use conversion factors to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students convert between Metric and English Units. They measure different objects and using both systems in their units.

Students collect data from mealworms. In this science and math lesson plan, students gain an understanding of collecting metric data using mealworms.

Students demonstrate visually Mankind's relative place on the earth's timeline. They familiarize themselves with the use of the metric system in measuring and producting a timeline.

Students explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system.  In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce students to the need for scientific...

Fourth graders measure volume, circumference, and height of fast food cups, find which one has the greatest volume, and compare/contrast those measurements to discover any correlations between them.

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight instructional activity, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a...

Learners explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Learners utilize...

Learners design a blueprint of a building. In this measurement lesson plan, students design a building on paper. Learners copy their building's measurements into the Microsoft Paint program and write word problems about their buildings....

Students explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson plan, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Students utilize a real life...

High schoolers create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Learners demonstrate dance activities and rhythm activities to whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes. They clap and move to notes individually and in 16 count metric phrases. As they create different 16 count metric phrases and...

Pupils watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Third graders study partial-products algorithms. In this math lesson plan, 3rd graders use an algorithm to find the product of factors. Students discuss the relationships between multiplication and division.

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Young scholars use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. For this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...

Students participate in five center activities in which they construct three dimensional objects using cubic centimeter manipulatives such as sugar cubes and toothpaste boxes. They determine the volume of the objects. They build a model...

Students explore measurements of a circle. In this lesson plan about circumference and radius, students practice calculating measurements of a circle. Students estimate, calculate, and practice with graphing all while learning how to...
