Activities and worksheets help teach the basic concepts and skills in measuring length, area, volume, capacity, and mass using objects found in the everyday environment. Both written and manipulative activities are included. Students will want to measure everything in sight once they learn how! Teaching suggestions for planning and implementation, plus an answer key, make this easy to start right away!

Children live in a world where things are measured. At the moment of their birth, they are measured and weighed. Their height is measured in notches on the wall as they grow. Children will ask, "How far away is the park?" They notice if their brother has a bigger piece of cake. Children often make spontaneous discoveries while manipulating objects; therefore, a wide range of materials should be provided.

Objectives:

1. Students will understand measurable attributes, the concept of a unit (of measure), and the process of measuring.
2. Students will make and use measurements in problems and everyday situations.
3. Students will make and use estimates in measurement situations.
