Here's the challenge: measure these objects and work on re-drawing them to half their size. This worksheet will give your child practice measuring,…
Help your students use rulers in the classroom with this lesson! Encourage them to measure items around them using centimeters to understand shapes and sizes.
Help your students learn the standard measures of length and foster critical thinking with this engaging lesson. Use alongside The Smaller They Come or as a stand-alone activity.
Advance your students from relative measurements to learning about standardized units with this lesson that teaches them about inches and feet by using common classroom objects.
Comparison is one of the most crucial math skills second graders learn, because it can be applied to so many other disciplines across the elementary school curriculum. In this measurement and data lesson, kids will work on object comparison and graphing. The exercises ask kids to list objects in size order, estimate length, note differences in length, and make bar graphs.
Can your child measure up? How about down, as in, let's make these objects half their size? This is a challenging worksheet where your child can…
Line Plots: Representing the Length of Classroom Items
In this lesson, your students will measure the lengths of items and then make a line plot to show the measurement data. They will get hands-on by measuring and surveying the class.
What is the length of a crayon? A marker? Which one is longer? Students can cut out the included in/cm ruler to estimate, measure, and compare the length of easy-to-find objects in your classroom.
Week 4 of our Fourth Grade Fall Review Packet features five more days of diverse learning activities designed to prepare students for their fourth grade year.
Is a giraffe more likely to be 15 feet tall or 25 inches tall? You probably don't need to get out your ruler to get to the correct answer. Assess student understanding of inches, centimeters, feet, and meters with this estimation check-in.
Before students can begin measuring everything around them, they will first need to understand the difference between different measurement units. Help them learn how inches add up to make a foot, and ounces combine to create a gallon, with the thought-provoking experiments and activities laid out below. Your students will love taking a measurement of just about everything around them.
How many inches are in a foot? How many centimeters are in an inch? What about ounces in a pound? Before students can measure, they need help with understanding which unit of measurement to use for length, height, and weight. These resources for units of measurement cover a wide range of skills from preschool to fifth grade and help students learn how to measure with both standard U.S. units and metric units and convert between them. Basic ruler exercises for preschoolers help students understand units of measurement for length and height. More advanced activities for fourth and fifth graders ensure that students learn how to convert between units of measurement, for example inches to centimeters and pounds to kilograms. From worksheets with sample measurement exercises and word problems to more hands-on activities, you can choose from a variety of activities to teach units of measurement. Learning units of measurement is made easy.
