Measure It!
Directions Materials Math Tub Pictures Internet Resources and Downloads

Students work independently to measure pre-selected items.  I do this as a whole class activity (math lab). Students use clipboards and their recording sheet.  They visit each of the 10 stations and use the ruler and/or non-standard unit of measurement (cubes, inchworms, etc) to measure the item and record its length.

  • rulers

  • non-standard unit of measurement

  • pencils

  • objects to measure

  • recording sheet

  • clip boards
