This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This 3rd grade video lesson introduces the U.S. customary measurements for length: inches, feet, and yards. In this lesson, students will learn benchmarks (visuals) for measuring in inches, feet and yards when they don't have standard measurement tools available.

This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This lesson focuses on measuring lengths to the nearest fourth of a inch, and discusses when it's necessary to find a precise measurement versus an estimate.

This lesson is Day 3 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson explores the use of appropriate units for measuring length. Additionally, students will be asked to solve single-step problems involving lengths of distances. No materials are needed for this lesson.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders about single object length (english measurent).

In this lesson, students will use hands-on activities to solve measurement problems. Students will make life like models of their body and then measure different parts of the model.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson the students are introduced to measuring length with standard units as they attempt to create a bed for a queen. They will also measure the length of an object in both inches and centimeters.

This lesson is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students use a measuring tape to measure, record, and compare the lengths of their arm spans. Remix this lesson to include pictures of students in action!  

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.A Common Formative Assessment (CFA) provides a snapshot of current student understanding. It serves as a checkpoint, and may be used to guide future whole and small group instruction. This CFA addresses 2nd grade, Cluster 6 standards.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, students work with partners to measure different objects and then find the difference in the measurements. Remix this lesson to include extension ideas (e.g., games and or math stations).

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, students first estimate the size and distance between their own facial features and then draw a self-portrait based on their estimates. Next students accurately measure and draw the same features and then compare the results.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.This tasks calls for students to determine the most appropriate tool/unit of measure for measuring a specific item.  The teask may be used for instruction or assessment.  A scoring rubric and printable recording sheet is provided.   Please remix this resource to add additional tasks. Sharing is caring!

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students explore how to measure the length of objects using rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.  They decide which tools are best for measuring objects of various sizes. This lesson assumes students have limited experience with measurement tools. Recording sheets and extension ideas are provided.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this series of activities, students use linear measurments to compare their heights and foot lengths to Abraham's Lincoln's measurements.  Provided in this packet are math activities, suggested read alouds, cross-curricular activities, and pictures of the lessons in action.Remix this lesson to include your own extension ideas. 

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, partners use both centimeters and inches to measure objects to develop their understanding of the relationship between the length of a unit and the resulting measurement. With teacher guidance, they will solidify their understanding that the objects themselves do not change when measured using different units. Students should have had multiple experiences measuring using standard units before attempting this lesson.
