In this lesson students explore tasks involving measurement units and make connections to place value.
G4M2: Unit Conversions and Problem Solving with Metric Measurement. Contains 5 Lessons.
In this activity students practice measuring techniques by measuring different objects and distances around the classroom. They practice using different scales of measurement in metric units and estimation.
In this lesson, students will express metric length measurements in terms of a smaller unit; model and solve addition and subtraction word problems involving metric length.
In this lesson, students will express metric mass measurements in terms of a smaller unit; model and solve addition and subtraction word problems involving metric mass.
In this lesson, students will express metric capacity measurements in terms of a smaller unit; model and solve addition and subtraction word problems involving metric capacity.
In this task, students will use noodles to make estimations using various strategies. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of complex weight problems (metric units).
Students will use mathematical and scientific tools to create a pictorial representation of their school grounds. Students will learn and use appropriate vocabulary for this task.
Students learn the metric units engineers use to measure mass, distance (or length) and volume. They make estimations using these units and compare their guesses with actual values. To introduce the concepts, the teacher needs access to a meter stick, a one-liter bottle, a glass container that measures milliliters and a gram scale.
In this unit, students learn about metric measurements and conversions.
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.
This 4 unit of measurement lessons explores measurement conversions through 1 hands-on activity and 2 worksheets.
This 4 unit of measurement lessons explores capacity (mainly in metric units) through 2 hands-on activities and 1 worksheet.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about introduction to metric measures: how big is a meter?.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of conversion of capacity units (metric units).
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of conversion of capacity units (metric units).
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about solving multi-step problems with multiplication and division (metric units) - word problems.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of comparison of capacity (gallons, pints, and quarts).
In this lesson plan, students will be able to solve problems involving measurement. Students will convert measurements within a system of units. They will form groups and compete against each other in competitions once they have practiced the skills together.
