Estimation 180 from Andrew Stadel - A picture for each day of the school year that can be used to develop estimation strategies and benchmarks for both SI and imperial units of measurement.
What is the Height of the Lamp post? from Estimation180 - Use a photo of a man standing next to a lamp post to try to estimate the lamp posts height? Estimation180 has a picture for each day of the school year that can be used to develop estimation strategies and benchmarks for both SI and imperial units of measurement.
Measurement Esti-Mysteries from Erick Lee - A math routine for estimation. These esti-mysteries are focused on metric measurements. Estimate the length of a pencil and the length of a bank of lockers.
Reading a Metric Ruler YouTube video - How to read a metric ruler divided into centimeters and millimeters. Also check out Reading an English ruler video for imperial measurement.
Tape Measure Pro Tips video - Learn some tricks about your tape measure!
The Ruler Game - Use this game to improve your ruler reading skills. After you click on the button that says, "Start New Game," the name of a measurement will appear in the text box labeled, "Click on:." As soon as you see the measurement appear, click on the corresponding measurement on the ruler at the top of the screen. You can turn off the timer if you'd like and change other settings as well.
Long Jump Measurement Activity - Use painter’s tape to create a line on the floor. Students stand at the line and jump forward as far as they can. Mark where they landed with the painters tape. Now use the measuring tape to measure how far your student jumped.
