Units of Measure
In this metric units of measurement worksheet, students read information about estimating lengths and masses, then solve 65 problems. Sample problems with solutions are included.
Curated OER
Measurement
Second graders practice measuring and estimating the length of two objects. They answer questions related to these topics and then work together in parts to complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Guesstimate
Learners estimate large quantities. They first practice estimating beans in a tub. They solve a large scale problem using one method of estimating they learned while watching the video, "Eddie Files".

Geography: Snow Cover on the Continents
Young scholars create maps of snow cover for each continent by conducting Internet research. After estimating the percentage of continental snow cover, they present their findings in letters, brochures or Powerpoint presentations.
Curated OER
Powers of 10
Students explore universe, and examine how big it really is and how scientists measure the distances or sizes of things by estimating sizes of different objects and reading and writing numbers in scientific notations.
Curated OER
Data Analysis & Probability
Students make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample proportions...
Curated OER
How Hot Is It?
Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Curated OER
Polygons and Angles
Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...
Curated OER
Angle Benchmarks
Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...
Curated OER
Estimation and Pattern Discovery
Students collect sunflower heads from their community garden. They estimate its seed count using different strategies. They graph their estimations on a graph and use calculators to find the actual total.
Curated OER
Measuring Up with Apples
Second graders estimate and measure various classroom objects using an apple as their tool for measuring, and record their measurement results on a data worksheet.
Curated OER
ESTIMATION
Young scholars practice estimating and counting and using a ruler to measure distance.
Curated OER
Best Guesser
Fifth graders develop strategies for estimating ages, and illustrate results by graphing and interpreting scatter plots to compare x and y coordinates.
Curated OER
Piggy Pockets
Second graders determine when estimates and exact totals are appropriate in dealing with money. They simulate keeping a checking account over a period of time and keep a checkbook ledger to record deposits and expenses.
Curated OER
How Much Further Is It?
Fifth graders use estimation to solve problems and assess the reasonableness of their answers. They may use an odometer, a map with a legend, MapQuest, or a map without a legen. They estimate 4 to 5 different scenarios.
Curated OER
Inches and Feet
In this inches and feet worksheet, students, with a partner, estimate and measure the answers to five word problems dealing with inches and feet.
Curated OER
Pea Brain! Explorations in Estimation
Young scholars estimate how many peas fit in a container. In this science lesson, students calculate the weight of a pea and record it. They use this data to calculate how many peas fit in a human brain.
Curated OER
See the State
Fourth graders are given a map of Indiana and have to plan a road trip including at least two major points of interest with 100% accuracy. The students estimate the distance between their two chosen locations with 100% accuracy.
Curated OER
Riemann Sums
In this calculus activity, students solve prolbem in which they estimate double integrals by using Riemann sums. The three page activity contains four questions. Answers are not included.
Curated OER
Parallax
Students discover how astronomers used the diameter of the Earth's orbit around the Sun as a baseline for estimating the distance of some stars, and the meaning of "Parsec" and "light year."
Curated OER
Angle Measurement of Aircraft Wings and Tails
Young scholars measure the angles of wings and tails of various aircraft using a protractor. They estimate and check their measurements. They investigate aircraft being developed and tested at NASA Dryden.
