$5 - $10 6th Grade Measurement Activities (by date, oldest first)

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.

The goal for this project is for your child/students to practice using area and perimeter. They will also practice spatial awareness as they plan for elements to fit within the area provided. The different areas they will place on their maps are based on the realms represented in the Nutcracker Ballet (when visiting after Marie/Clara rescues the Nutcracker/Prince)

Children/students can practice following instructions and requirements by following the assignment's instructions.

This pack contains a set of 24 questions differentiated four ways (96 cards) on the subject of Geometry. They are designed completely from scratch with simplicity, professionalism and concentration in mind.

This Task Card Set is available in a money saving bundle offer. Click here for more information

The questions are formulated to provide a mix of real life situations and pure geometry problems from a wide range of geometry subjects, such as pythagoras, symmetry, circles and more. The cards introduce the idea that Geometry has a function in the real world. These questions provide a strong base for the continued learning of Basic Geometry and a good grounding for further and more complex study.

Each question is differentiated in 4 ways across 4 cards. The easiest are the Red Questions and then the Yellow. The Green cards offer a little more challenge by asking additional questions, and finally the Challenge cards are designed to push the most able.

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
