Students participate in a classroom scavenger hunt with a partner to measure common classroom objects using a ruler.

In this lesson, your students will measure the lengths of items and then make a line plot to show the measurement data. They will get hands-on by measuring and surveying the class.

Give your students some early practice with shapes using this simple lesson. Young learners will have a great time creating shapes using pieces of string.

This support lesson provides students the opportunity to use two different tools to measure the length of familiar objects while introducing content specific vocabulary words. Use alone or alongside the lesson How Big is the Playground?
