This resource features more than 40 classroom-tested activities for exploring measurement. Students will explore length using rulers and yardsticks; mass and volume using scales and liters; and area and perimeter using color tiles and graph paper.

In keeping with the current math standards, students are asked to:

• Estimate and compare lengths in standard units

• Estimate and measure the mass and volume of classroom objects

• Select and use appropriate measurement tools

• Solve word problems involving length, distance, mass and volume

• Tell and write time to nearest minute using a.m. and p.m.

• Generate measurement data and display in graphs and line plots

• Calculate area and perimeter, relating area to addition and multiplication

These can be used as small-group work or whole-class activities.

Grades 2-3.
