Real-life math is really great! In groups, learners measure objects in the classroom. After comparing measurements, they determine a scale and create a blueprint of the classroom. They discuss the purpose of using scale drawings in...

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

Students research measurements of the moon and Earth as well as the distance between the two in order to create scale models of the Earth-moon system. With a marble to be used as the moon, they must determine how large to make Earth...

Students explore the concept of equivalence as it relates to comparing concrete objects to determine greater or lesser attributes such as length and weight. In this pan balance-shapes lesson, students make estimations while verifying...

Learners build different shapes using sketches. In this geometry lesson, students explore measurements and units as they build and create models of buildings. They use SketchUp to create and manipulate shapes.

Students investigate measuring as it relates to the real world. In this geometry lesson, students measure distances as they discuss fractals and how it relates to measuring. They measure both linear and non-linear distances.

Students discover measurements by participating in a ruler activity.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize rulers to measure items on a worksheet and compare their work with classmates.  Students utilize their motor skills...

Students investigate and measure using the metric and customary units. In this math instructional activity, students investigate which method is used most worldwide, the metric or the customary. They convert from unit to...

In this scale drawings worksheet, 5th graders learn to solve measurement problems using scale drawings and models for the six word problems.

In this measurements worksheet, students fill in 10 blanks, determine if statements are true or false, match 6 terms with the appropriate definitions, and solve 2 problems. Topics include converting to scientific notation, identifying...

High schoolers identify the steps in washing dishes by placing them in the correct order by from number 1 to 7 in front of each step. Then, they identify various cooking terms and define each one. Finally, students write the correct...

Eleventh graders practice reading a basic blueprint for a closet. Using the blueprint, they identify the parts, measure and cut the wood and square a wall. They review safety procedures and use hand tools to attach a track to a cement...

Students compare and contrast objects according to their length. In groups, they travel to different centers in their classroom to participate in different sorting activities. They are introduced to how to use a ruler and reading the...

Students review the concept of measuring length. In groups, they travel to various centers throughout the classroom. They experiment with using different objects to measure the length of items given to them by their teacher. They are...

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

Students use statistics to study attributes of a local center for pregnant teenagers. They apply mean, median, mode and a correlation study between two variables.

Students explore notions of relationships between two variables. They use discussion, games, worksheets, spreadsheets to consider relationships such as: height vs. shoe size, cricket chirping vs. temperature.

Students complete measurement activities. For this measurement lesson, students watch online clips about measurements. Students view items and discuss taking measurements of them. Students discuss what units of measurement and equipment...

Seventh graders create a bathroom floor plan using measurement math. In this measurement lesson plan, 7th graders use measurement, proportionality, estimation, and area to design a floor plan. Students design floor tiles using centimeter...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concept of scale. As a class, they create a model of the solar system taking into account the scale between the planets and the Sun. To end the lesson, they examine "Dina the Monster Bee" and discover...

Third graders watch a video on the solar system and examine the role of the sun. As a class, they complete a KWL chart and make different color temperature pockets to use during their experiment. In groups, they make predictions about...

Third graders brainstorm a list how they use measurements everyday. Using string, they cut a piece long enough as their height and complete ratios using their arms and legs about old tales about measurements. They compare and contrast...

Students are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.
