Measure the Length of an Object in Inches
- Grade:
- 2
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on measuring the length of an object to inches The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students line up the zero mark of the ruler with the object. Then, then find the length of the object by counting the number of inches. Finally, they record the length and read the sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items. Examples of different rulers are shown.
Perimeter & Area Formulas
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and data lesson requires students to solve problems by applying the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students are taught the formulas for area and perimeter and then are given word problems and diagrams and asked to find the perimeter and/or area. Students are also required to read a word problem and determine whether they need to solve for area or perimeter based on the given information.
Find the Perimeter of a Rectangle
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on finding the perimeter of a rectangle. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem to find the rectangle's length and width. Then, they substitute the rectangle's length and width into the perimeter formula and compute the perimeter. Finally, they label the answer with the correct unit of measurement. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Find the Length of a Horizontal Line Segment
- Grade:
- 5
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and geometry lesson focuses on finding the length of a horizontal line segment. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the x-coordinate in each ordered pair. Then, they find the length of the horizontal line segment by calculating the difference of the x-coordinates. Finally, they interpret their solution. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
