Customary Capacity: The students will make a gallon man to learn the conversions for units of customary capacity. The students will then use their new knowledge and a computer to make a tree map showing these conversions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Jennifer Williams.

Graphing and Measurement Go Hand in Hand: Students learn how to use customary measurement using inches or centimeters and data collection and graphing simultaneously. Students will measure the length of their foot, arm span, hand span, or head circumference to the nearest centimeter or inch. Next they will collect and represent their data by constructing a graph.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Fran Toledano.

Graphing Shark Sizes: In the following lesson, the students will work in cooperative groups to research shark lengths and graph their information.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Carole Long.

How long is your smile?: Students will use standard and nonstandard measurement to measure their smile.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Julie Little.

Little and big houses: Using the book Little House on the Prairie and international keypals, students will learn about similarities and differences among children at different times and in different places.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Mathematics); By Karen Ester.

Milk It for All It's Worth: Students will cooperatively discover the equivalent measures of capacity. In addition, students will be given a unit price of milk and will be asked to calculate the price of other units of capacity based on the price given. They will then use this information to determine the most economical buy.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By ann dawson.

Savvy Soil: The students will compare and contrast the physical characteristics of three soils: clay, humous, and sand. They will create double bubble maps and list poems about the soils.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science); By Karen Smith.

Solid Graphing: The students will review solid figures using a baggie of assorted snack mix (cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres) and will begin a vertical bar graph showing the number of each solid figure in a bag of assorted snack mix.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Lisa Fletcher.

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.

Temperature Graphs: In the following lesson students will locate and record daily high temperatures for several major cities. This data will then be displayed on line graphs. Students will choose one city, and based on its high temperatures, write a paragraph describing appropriate clothing and activities for that location. They will draw a picture of themselves dressed in the clothing and participating in an activity they described.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, and Mathematics); By Kaye Clark.

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.

Collecting the rays: In this lesson, from Illuminations, students explore how variations in solar collectors affect the energy absorbed. They make rectangular prisms that have the same volume but different linear dimensions. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics and Science); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Cylinders and scale: This lesson, from Science NetLinks, teaches students that most things have built-in limits in scale, but that knowing an object's extreme limits of scale can be revealing. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 Mathematics); Provider: American Association for the Advancement of Science

Discovering Gallon Man: Students experiment with units of liquid measure used in the customary system of measurement. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 5 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

How long? How wide? How tall? How deep?: In this Illuminations lesson, students use historical nonstandard units (digits, hand, cubit, yard, foot, pace, fathom) to estimate the lengths of common objects and then measure using modern standard units. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 5 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Inch by inch: In this lesson, students use an actual ruler to represent various fractions as lengths. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
