Does your House Measure Up?: This lesson is intended to be used as a final assessment of a student's understanding of an inch, foot, and yard. It will also assess their ability to use a yardstick, follow written directions, and work with a partner to draw a house on the school blacktop as part of a class neighborhood.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Cathy Searcey.

Equal Inches: In this lesson, students will begin measuring with nonstandard units and discover the need for a standard unit of measure. Students will also learn to measure to the nearest inch using an inch ruler correctly and record their results.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics); By Charlene Martin.

Measurement: Children will work with a partner to measure their hands, feet, and smiles to the nearest inch and centimeter. Children will measure cut slips of different colored construction paper from 1 - 12 inches and graph into even-odd, shortest to longest, longest to shortest. Children will record their information, use the information to solve word problems, and create a number sentence.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics); By Ann Franklin.

Measurement Centers: During a center based activity groups of students will rotate around the classroom practicing non-standard unit of measurement concepts. In addition, they will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with measuring with rulers and will participate in a lesson about capacity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Mathematics); By Amy Kershaw.

Measurement Mania: Measurement Mania is a series of lessons that will actively involve students in several measurement activities. Students will gain hands-on practice while working within the classroom environment in small groups.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, and Mathematics); By Christy Brown.

Project Groundhog: The students will determine the groundhog prediction of either six more weeks of winter or an early spring and see if the prediction was accurate by recording daily weather data for six weeks. Over that six week period the students will be comparing their weekly data with schools around the USA and Canada using the Project Groundhog website.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics and Science); By Jane Diamond.

Soooooo Tall!!: Students will build a figure out of legos. There are two groups, and each group is competing with the other. Students build their tower of legos as high as they can and then measure with a ruler or yard stick. The tower has to be free-standing so the children have to think of ways to keep the tower standing by itself.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics); By Beverly Rose.

The Area of Things...: Students recognize and use the attributes of length and area using nonstandard units. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Balancing Act: Students use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Block Pounds: Students explore the use of variables as unknowns as they solve for the weights of objects using information presented in pictures. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Body measurements: In this Illuminations lesson, students make their own fascinating discoveries and become aware of the concepts of ratio and proportion as they relate to measuring features of their own bodies.

Facing Up: Students create a map of their face and practice locating different parts using the geometric and measurement concepts they have learned in previous lessons. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics and Science); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Get the Turtle to the Pond: Provides opportunities for creative problem solving while encouraging young students to estimate length and angle measure. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Going Places: Looking Back and Moving Forward: This lesson helps the teacher determine if students have learned to link measurement and geometry to create maps and charts to show spatial relationships. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Mathematics and Science); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Handy Map: The teacher draws an outline of his or her hands and begins mapping them using words the students suggest. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Social Studies and Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Helping Ladybug Hide with Arrows and Angles: Students use a Java applet to hide a ladybug under a leaf. This requires experimentation, planning, and understanding of spatial relationships and visual memory.
