Measure Our Math

My students need experiences that help them understand measurement. This project includes precise balances, and weights for both metric and customary measurement.

My Students

All of the classes in our K-6 Title I school come to my math lab for hands-on lessons. They love to use manipulatives during the lessons to understand at a deeper level. We would like the students to learn how to measure mass precisely.

I'm lucky enough to get to work with all of the students in our K-6 school.

We are a Title I school, so our students don't always have all of the experiences they need to excel. We have a growing population of students that are still learning English. Our students are more engaged and progress faster when they have hands-on experiences.

My Project

This project includes precise balances, and weights for both metric and customary measurement. I will do lessons on measurement with all of the students in our school. I'm requesting BALANCES that are more precise than the 2 plastic ones we have now. Other teachers will be able to check out the balances so they will be put to good use. I will do lessons using the METRIC WEIGHTS and the CUSTOMARY WEIGHTS to help the students compare the two measurement systems. It is hard or students to understand the difference between a kilogram and a pound with limited experiences.

Students will become more confident as they explore measurement topics.

Then, they will be able to do conversions between units and advance to more complex topics with a solid understanding.
