Whales are all big, but some are larger than others! Kids will love sorting the 10 whale species by size at their desk (whale cut-outs provided). Next, use a whale rope to visualize how long each of these whales actually is. A large...

In this metric unit worksheet, students use a table to solve problems related to length of different types of whales using centimeters, meters and kilometers.

Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Learners will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....

In this problem solving activity, students read the strategies and steps to solve word problems. Students solve 2 problems about blue whales.

The blue whale is the focus of this life science instructional activity. Learners read an excellent selection on the blue whale, and answer ten comprehension questions. Then, students are divided into two groups. Each group has to...

Learners research the size of whales using print books or the internet. Students do the research in  groups. They compare and graph the results.

Students listen to whale stories and answer addition and subtraction problems in the stories.  In this addition and subtraction lesson plan, students receive 20 goldfish.  Based on the story they eat the goldfish. Students...

Students determine the length of different whales using a rope marked off and color coded to each length. They create life-size scale drawings of whales on butcher paper.

For this metric weights worksheet, students read 10 sentences and from two choices of metric weight units, fill in the most correct answer. Example: A turkey weighs about 2 (kilograms, grams).

This grid features 15 animals, and scholars use a coordinate system to describe the location of each. The x-axis is labelled with letters and the y-axis with numbers, and they list the coordinate pairs beside the animal names below the...

Third and fourth graders read the addition word problems and use the sets of numbers within the problem along with column addition to solve the problems.

First graders explore measurement in relation to size of objects.

Students discuss how big is big. They compare the area and perimeter of an acre and a football field.
