- Estimation:
Scavenger Hunt- To develop the practical skill of measurement estimation,
which is the process of using mental and visual information to measure
or make comparisons without the use of measuring instruments.
- Flying
Objects- This activity is a culminating activity that provides an
application to measurement and to flying objects.
- Forming, Measuring
and Labeling Angles- Students will be able to form angles, measure
angles and label angles.
- How
Much is a Million?- Students will be able to estimate, investigate,
and calculate answers to mathematical problems.
- Inch
by Inch- Inch by Inch is a lesson dealing with measurement and estimation.
It integrates reading and art.
- Inch by Inch and
Centimeter by Centimeter Extravaganza- Students will be able to
compare and contrast standard to nonstandard units of measurement.
- Inchworm
Measurement- Students will be introduced to the concept of measuring
length. Students use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths
of several classroom objects.
- Integrating
Math into Spring Thematic Unit- Students will actively explore mathematical
concepts through problem solving while in cooperative learning groups.
Analysis, data collection, and investigative questions are all part
of the scientific process of this lesson. Paired workers will complete
"Jelly Belly Activity Packet."
- Learning
Measurements- To introduce students into measurement by integrating
literature.
- Light
My Stadium Math Lab- A really fun lab where students must use a
variety of math skills to plan the lighting of a stadium.
- Making
Estimations in Measurement- This particular activity was designed
to provide students with an opportunity to utilize their knowledge of
measurement in making accurate measurements and estimations.
- Making Ice Cream-
After the lesson the students will be able change a recipe to arrive
at the amount of each ingredient needed to serve a given number of people.
- Measurement-
This introductory measurement lesson helps students to learn how to
measure objects.
- Measurement-
The students will be introduced to different physical concepts of measurements.
- Measurements: Inches-
Solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various
items measured.
- Measurement (cup,
pt, qt, gal)- Fifth grade students will be able to rename measurements
with cups, pints, quarts, and gallons and to choose appropriate units
of capacity.
- Measurement
of Objects- Students will learn how to measure objects and will
become comfortable with using a ruler.
- Measurement of Objects
Using Similar Triangles in The Plane- The students in the high school
geometry class will apply the use of similar triangles to a sight tool
in order to measure the distance between, or height of large objects
such as buildings or trees.
- Measurement: What
is it?- The objective of this lesson is 4 fold.
- Measurements In
The Metric System- Inch and centimeter conversion lesson plan.
- Measuring in Inches
and Centimeters- To teach 6th grade students how to measure in inches
and centimeters.
- Metric
and English- To answer the question: will using two differing systems
of measurement to construct something cause problems?
- Metric
Equivalents- Students will use a shortcut method to change one metric
unit to another (Ex: kilometers to centimeters), by using a diagram
which uses words students can relate and remember.
- Metrics-
This unit is designed to help 7th and/or 8th grade students develop
an understanding of the metric system. Its' purpose is to help them
discover the need for a universal measurement system as well as the
basic fundamentals of one such system that is already in place within
most of the counties around the world.
- One,
Two, Three Isaac Newton and Me!- Investigate Newton's Laws with
matchbox cars.
- Significant
Figures- Students traditionally have a very difficult time understanding
which digits are significant, especially zeroes, in a number that represents
something that has been measured. This activity was designed so that
students will explore and truly understand which digits are significant
when dealing with numbers that represent measured values.
- Smile
Metric Style- Using the metric system can be very confusing and
difficult for many students. This activity enables the students to practice
working with the metric system.
- Surf
to the Planets on the Internet- Students use computers and other
electronic technology to gather, organize, manipulate, and express information
and ideas.
- Telling
Time: By the Hour- The students will be able to describe and analyze
what time is to them. They students will also be able to tell time and
make their own clocks by the hour.
- Tree
Measurement- Demonstrate measurement of the
trunk, crown, and height using vertical and horizontal measurement.
- The
Metric System- To practice standard and metric measurement via the
newspaper.
- Tree
Measurement- This activity is used to help understand vertical and
horizontal measurement of large objects.
- Using
Parallax to Determine Distances- . This activity is designed to
give students a better understanding of what parallax is, and to gain
some experience in using it. We would already have talked about parallax
in class, and seen some simple examples of it.
