Measurement
Compare and order objects according to length, capacity, and weight. 1.4.1 a	Heaviest to Lightest - compare objects by deciding which is heaviest and lightest Poddle Weigh-In - Hacker has removed all of the weights from the Poddles, you must use the scales to estimate their correct weight. Teaching Measures - Choose from three modules; length, mass, and capacity. Each category offers several activities for your large screen display as well as supporting worksheets.
Recognize the need for standard units of measurement. 1.4.1 b
Demonstrate understanding of the concept of length. 1.4.2 a
Measure and estimate length using a variety of nonstandard units. 1.4.2 b	Are We There Yet? - select appropriate unit of measure Estimation of Length - this video lesson explains the difference between accurate measure and approximate measure, then gives your students the chance to make estimates based on a baseline. Poddle Weigh-In - Hacker has removed all of the weights from the Poddles, you must use the scales to estimate their correct weight.
Use a ruler to measure a line segment to the nearest inch or centimeter. 1.4.2 c	Centimeters - to nearest whole number ( from FunBrain ) Centimeters - to half centimeter ( from FunBrain ) Inches - to nearest whole number ( from FunBrain ) Inches - to quarter inch ( from FunBrain ) Teaching Measures - Choose from three modules; length , mass, and capacity. Each category offers several activities for your large screen display as well as supporting worksheets. The Ruler Game - Learn To Read A Ruler (inches only - increments from inches to sixteenths)
Use scales to weigh an object to nearest pound or kilogram. 1.4.2 d	Teaching Measures - Choose from three modules; length, mass , and capacity. Each category offers several activities for your large screen display as well as supporting worksheets.
Recognize that a calendar is a way of measuring time. 1.4.2 e	It's A Date - use a calendar [designed for third grade]
Mark specified days and dates on a calendar and describe the relationship between days and months. 1.4.2 f
Determine time to the nearest hour and half-hour, using a standard clock. 1.4.2 g	Analog Clock - (whole class activity) You call out a time and ask a student to set the clock. Clock Craft - Make a simple paper clock that you can use to practice telling time Clock Program - Start with either an analog or a digital clock, then set the other clock to the time given on the first clock. Draw Hands - free worksheets from Math Slice, time intervals from 1 hour to one minute Kid Klock - use pull down menus to select the time you would like to see on an analog clock Identifying Time to the Hour Stop the Clock - match digital time to analog clocks, or written time, by dragging the digital clocks, or written time | to the nearest hour | to the nearest half hour Tell Time - free worksheets from Math Slice, time intervals from 1 hour to one minutes Telling Time - Players must drag the digital displays to the matching analogue clock (telling time to the half-hour). All against the clock of course! Other times : ( fifteen minute increments ) ( five minute increments ) ( one minute increments ) - For whole class instruction there is a clock available (digital or analog) which can be advanced by increments) Telling Time Practice - Drag the hands of the clock to show the correct time. (some of these may be a bit hard) Time To Go - tell time to the half hour Time to the Hour - a concentration style matching game, match digital and analog clocks Time Quiz - Practice half hour skills Worksheet Generator - Telling Time ; You decide on the variables; students tell the time or draw the hands on the clock face, time increments from half-hour to one minute, and answer sheet.
Compare units of time. 1.4.2 h	Match Spoken Time to Numerical Time - click on Play, listen to the time spoken then select the number that matches
Use a thermometer to measure temperature and determine the hotter/colder temperature by selecting the higher/lower column of two thermometers. 1.4.2 i
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives	Measurement (Grades PreK-2)
