Middle School Measurement Resources

Engaging, Hands on Holiday Activity:

My students love this delicious project. We like to do it right before Thanksgiving. Students are given weight data concerning the materials used to build a candy and cookie turkey. They use this data to estimate the total weight of the turkey. When estimates are concluded and turkeys are built, students weigh the turkey to find the actual weight.

Students reflect and write about the differences between their estimates and the actual weight of the turkey.

An optional extension has students convert the metric measurements provided to standard measurements. This can be assigned as homework to follow up on the classroom activity.

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Student worksheet with photos.
• Student worksheet without photos.
• Example photos.
• Extension worksheet.
• Extension answer sheet.
• All worksheet available in black and white or color.

How is this product useful:

• Standards based holiday activity.
• Easy to implement hands-on activity.
• Fun for the holiday!

This 86-page document has everything you could possibly need to effectively teach area, perimeter and volume to your 5th and 6th graders, or as a refresher for your grade 7's. This slide deck will make your teaching painless, paperless, and requiring zero planning. I teach with a workshop style format and my paperless slide decks provide your students with plenty of guided and shared instruction and opportunities to practice with a partner and solo - to free you up to easily assess and work with the students who need you most. Get a class set of whiteboards and markers, and away you go! Let me teach FOR you and show your students what they need to know, the strategies they need and the confidence they desperately require to be successful with math. I make it simple, visual, step-by-step and fool-proof for you (or your sub!) and your students.

Here are the concepts and strategies I cover in this document:

• Drawing a precise line, to the tenths (dixièmes);
• Units of measurement;
• What exactly is a rectangle?;
• Understanding symmetry when it comes to length and height (longueur et largeur) and how to use it to our advantage to find missing values;
• Using Base 10 blocks to create shapes based on given dimensions;
• "Reading" Base 10 block creations for their dimensions;
• Strategies for calculating surface area (i.e.: physically counting, drawing, using equations);
• "Saying" area values out loud - and what to make of that exponent 2;
• Calculating area and perimeter of rectangles using formulas - I really emphasize the need to START with a formula and work with the formula!
• Finding missing values (dimensions) of a rectangle for area and perimeter;
• Constructing rectangles when given a total surface area (and nothing else);
• Finding dimensions that WORK and DON'T work for a given surface area;
• Finding total surface area and perimeter from given dimensions;
• Estimating total surface area and comparing different shapes' dimensions;
• Finding both area and perimeter for the same rectangle;
• The difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes;
• Using the formula for calculating volume - and starting with two values and working our way up!;
• Using Base 10 blocks to represent 3-dimensional shapes (and remembering that volume is the total number of units within the entire shape);

Your students will be provided with games:

• "Quelles sont ses dimensions?!" - A trivia-style game where students must "read" a Base 10 Block creation and find it's width and height values.
• "Ce n'est pas possible!" - A multiple choice trivia-style game where students must find the "intruder" in a series of dimensions for given surface areas.
• "Quelle est l'aire?" - A quick trivia-style game where students must choose the appropriate answer (they'll have to pay close attention to the formulas and units of measurement to be successful!)
• "Quel est le périmètre?" - A quick trivia-style game where students must choose the appropriate answer (they'll have to pay close attention to the formulas and units of measurement to be successful!)

In addition to the games, your students will have opportunities to see guided examples, practice with a partner and finally, practice solo. During the independent and partner practice, I work with my "low" students while the rest of my class is busy showing me their ability to prove their understanding independently.

My Facebook group is the place to be if you want to be first-to-know about upcoming sales, contests, freebies or whatever else I've got up my sleeve.

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.

• 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.

This creative Bird’s Eye View Perspective Unit: 3D Forms OR City Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this PDF file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to choose a Perspective artwork to complete: the 3D Forms artwork OR the City Scene artwork. Students used a ruler for most of this assignment and learned perspective drawing. Students worked with value or details in their artworks. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
