This is a great math activity that accompanies the books about the foot. These math activities are geared toward the 3rd grade core. There are 5 different activities.

One page is writing multiplication sentences based off the picture of feet on the worksheet.

The second page is a really fun activity where students get to write multiplication sentences about the feet in their classroom. Page three is a measurement worksheet. They will use their ruler to measure or round to the nearest quarter inch.

The second to last worksheet is a line plot where students will measure their feet then create a line plot using the feet measurements of their classmates.

The last page is where students will look at the shoes in their classroom and create a bar graph. They get to group the shoes any way they would like, but need to correctly label their graph and show their findings.

Students will love this Jeopardy-like review game to practice all 5th Grade Common Core Measurement and Data standards. Questions focus on the converting measurements, using line plots, finding volume with unit cubes and the volume formula, mixed review, and vocabulary. Points range from 100 - 500, which reflect the increase in difficulty throughout each category.

**FULLY EDITABLE** While the game is complete, it is also editable in PowerPoint, making it easy to add questions or change the level of difficulty based on your students' needs.

The game includes 30 high quality questions - 6 categories with 5 questions each ranging in difficulty from basic review (100) to challenging (500).

⭐Converting Measurement: these questions require students to compare and create equivalent measurements within either the Metric System or the US Customary System

⭐Line Plots: this category asks students to read line plots and gather information from a line plot. The more challenging questions have 1/2 incriments and ask about redistributing evenly.

⭐Volume with Unit Cubes: students are asked to find the volume of rectangular prims when given a picture with unit cubes. They are also asked to find missing measurements when told two dimensions and the total number of cubes used to create a figure.

⭐Volume with a Formula: these questions involve using the volume formula to find volume. Students are given rectangular prisms and compound figures with labeled dimensions to use. They are also asked to find a missing dimension when given the volume.

⭐Mixed Review: students are asked computation problems to review addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - all at a 5th grade level

⭐Vocabulary: this section asks about the meaning of words related to volume and specific measurements within the Metric System and US Customary System

The Median can be a difficult concept for students to master. A relevant approach to teaching the statistical value of the Median is to have students determine the High and Low temperatures of the weather for a week. To facilitate this, a worksheet has been designed as an easy way to integrate extra practice during Bell Ringers or Warm-Up activities.

Introducing a complete, 9-lesson inquiry-based unit plan for Grade 6 students, focusing on the concepts of volume and capacity. This comprehensive unit aligns with the PYP framework and includes all necessary worksheets and materials, making it easy for teachers to implement engaging, hands-on learning experiences in their classrooms.

What's included:

- 9 detailed lesson plans with clear objectives, materials lists, and step-by-step instructions

- 53 page slide set

• Printable worksheets for each lesson, including:
• Volume exploration worksheets
• Volume calculation practice sheets
• Real-world problem-solving tasks
• Reflection and self-assessment prompts
• Summative assessment materials to evaluate student understanding
• Extension activities and differentiation suggestions
• Teacher notes and background information on key concepts

Key learning outcomes:

• Understand and define volume and capacity
• Identify and convert between volume units (mL, L, kL, cm³, m³)
• Estimate and measure the volume of various containers and objects
• Calculate the volume of rectangular prisms using the formula V = l × w × h
• Differentiate between volume and capacity
• Relating volume to mass
• Apply volume concepts to real-world problem-solving scenarios

Hands-on learning:

This unit encourages students to explore volume and capacity through engaging, hands-on activities using everyday objects like bottles, cartons, and plastic containers. Teachers will need to collect these items and have measuring jugs & kitchen scales available for students to use during the lessons.

With this comprehensive unit plan, teachers will have all the resources they need to guide students through an immersive, inquiry-based learning experience that deepens their understanding of volume and capacity and helps them apply these concepts to real-world situations.

These task cards use a variety of easy to find materials to compare the weights of acorns with common classroom supplies. The same materials are also used in the measuring length.

Here is the list of materials needed to do all of the task cards.

The following materials are needed to complete these task cards: acorns, balance scale, base ten blocks (or small wooden blocks), bottle of glue, building bricks, crayon, coins, counting cubes, dice, dominos, dot markers, erasers, glue stick, marbles, marker, paint brush, paper clips, pencil, and a toy car.

When to Use

• Task Box Activity
• Small Group Activity
• Math Centers

Skills Assessed

• Comparing Weights of two sets of objects
• Using nonstandard measurements to measure length
• Using nonstandard measurements to measure height
• Using nonstandard measurements to weigh objects.

The task cards, by themselves, are low prep and just need to be printed and cut apart. They can be laminated for durability if desired. By storing the cards and acorns in task boxes, teachers will have an easy to set up and clean up activity. Gathering the necessary materials may take some time, but once gathered, this becomes a fun, hands on math center to practice nonstandard measurements.
