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 Mathematics); By Kaye Clark.

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.

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.

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, Mathematics, and Social Studies); By Karen Ester.

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.

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.

Gallon man saves the day: The "gallon man" is a graphic organizer that helps students visualize and remember the contents of a gallon. It makes conversions from pints to quarts etc., and it is very easy for students to use.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Jimmy Davis.

Water, water: In this lesson, from Illuminations, students compare the amount of water they use in daily life with the amount allotted for each person each day on a Space Shuttle. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 3–5 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

More or less estimator: This activity allows the user to estimate quantities and sizes including the number of objects in a set, the lengths of a curve, and the area of a shape (Learn more); Format: activity/lesson plan (grade K–12 Mathematics); Provided by: Shodor

Makeshift measurements: In this Illuminations lesson, students explore the concept of standard size and verify measurements for some objects that come in standard sizes. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics); Provided by: 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); Provided by: 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.
