Students will become more familiar with common metric measurements by matching everyday objects with the metric mass and volume units they would use to measure them.

In this hands-on lesson, your students will get to sharpen their measuring skills as they measure lengths of items in your classroom to the nearest quarter inch. They'll get to then use their data to create line plots.

Get your students explaining estimations and measurements of liquid volumes and masses of objects! Use this lesson independently or alongside Estimating Measurements of Mass and Volume Using Metric Units.
