Measurement Enrichment Worksheet- Using Mouse Measures
In this measurement enrichment worksheet, 2nd graders use a picture of a mouse as a unit of non-standard measurement to complete a chart. They record the shortest items and longest item in 2 questions below the chart.
Curated OER
Paper Clip Path- Using Paper Clips to Measure
In this paper clip measurement worksheet, 1st graders cut out pictures of paper clips at the bottom of the page. They use the pictures to measure how many paper clips it takes to follow two paths. They color the shorter path blue.

Is Your Money Rolling Away?
Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. They will watch the video "Math Can Take You Places" and identify three problem solving strategies.
Curated OER
Hands Around The World
Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of measurement. They conduct an experiment by measuring the amount of children needed to cover the distance of 50 yards. They calculate the distance around the world and how...

Square Roots
Square away any doubts about using a new resource. Pupils learn about squares and square roots in the mini-instructional activity. They complete a worksheet identifying roots of perfect squares up to 400.
Curated OER
Making Simple Conversions
Young scholars explore the concept of measurement as it relates to equivalencies. They complete simple conversions using visual models of measurement units, and record their answers in a two-column table.

From Circle-ometry to Trigonometry
Can you use triangles to create a circle? Learners develop the unit circle using right triangle trigonometry. They then use the unit circle to evaluate common sine and cosine values.
EngageNY
Looking More Carefully at Parallel Lines
Can you prove it? Making assumptions in geometry is commonplace. This resource requires mathematicians to prove the parallel line postulate through constructions. Learners construct parallel lines with a 180-degree rotation and then...
