For this assessement task, students make reasonable estimates for different parts of their body and choose the meassurement tool they feel is best to use to measure their body parts. A scoring rubric is included.

Students take turns with a set of measurement concentration cards to determine if the measures shown on the cards are equivalent. Next, they complete the math sentence. The cards template is provided in the activity.

In this assessment task students will hunt around the room to find objects that are the same length as the items on the assessment tasks. They are to find something that measures the same as lengths such as two square tiles a pencil or three post it notes. Students will draw and write the name of the object on the task sheet. The teacher should prepare the objects that students measure with prior to the assessment. An assessment task sheet and a rubric are provided.

Students learn about angle measure by watching a video, reviewing examples, and practicing on their own.

For this assessement task, students estimate the measurement of labeled objects around the classroom and measure them using centimeters, inches, feet, or meters.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Bianca is getting ready to run in a race on a 200 meter track. She notices that the starting positions in the six lanes are at different points along the track. She believes this is unfair and sets out to measure the distance between the starting point and the finish line in both the outside and the inside lanes. Teaching tips are also provided that discuss frame, focus and follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.

Students looks at three paths and predict which path they believe will be the longest and which will be the shortest. Using rulers, yarn, or string, students measure the length of each path and record their findings.

For this assessment, students measure the length of a chart paper using a ruler and write to tell how long the chart paper is in inches. Measuring the chart paper a second time, students write how long he paper is in feet. Lastly, students write to explain why the measurements are different.

Students add and subtract metric units of length with word problems in this interactive resource.

CK-12 Foundation's Middle School Math Grade 6 Flexbook covers the fundamentals of fractions, decimals, and geometry. Also explored are units of measurement, graphing concepts, and strategies for utilizing the book's content in practical situations.

Provides teaching tips, information on common errors, differentiated instruction, enrichment, and problem solving for teachers to use with the CK-12 Middle School Math - Grade 6, Student Edition.

For this assessment task, students solve a word problem using a drawing and an equation.

Given an assortment of unknown metals to identify, student pairs consider what unique intrinsic (aka intensive) metal properties (such as density, viscosity, boiling or melting point) could be tested. For the provided activity materials (copper, aluminum, zinc, iron or brass), density is the only property that can be measured so groups experimentally determine the density of the "mystery" metal objects. They devise an experimental procedure to measure mass and volume in order to calculate density. They calculate average density of all the pieces (also via the graphing method if computer tools area available). Then students analyze their own data compared to class data and perform error analysis. Through this inquiry-based activity, students design their own experiments, thus experiencing scientific investigation and experimentation first hand. A provided PowerPoint(TM) file and information sheet helps to introduce the five metals, including information on their history, properties and uses.

Normally we find things using landmark navigation. When you move to a new place, it may take you awhile to explore the new streets and buildings, but eventually you recognize enough landmarks and remember where they are in relation to each other. However, another accurate method for locating places and things is using grids and coordinates. In this activity, students will come up with their own system of a grid and coordinates for their classroom and understand why it is important to have one common method of map-making.

This resource is a great tool to create number lines of varying start and end points. Set the starting and ending numbers and the increments you want for the number line and click the 'Create It' button to retrieve a pdf of your number lines.
