MEASUREMENT

estimation:  a rough calculation of the number value of something.

This video guides students through figuring out reasonable explanations of estimation. 

This game is excellent for students to see the relationships of sizes.  Students would be able to view how to estimate proportion size.  The game allows the student to practice and build their estimating skills as well with providing immediate feedback with how close his/her approximation was to the actual number. 

This resource not only defines estimation for students but provides real world examples reinforcing its importance. 

This worksheet will check for understanding.

Length: The measurement of distance in units such as:inches, feet, yards, miles, etc.

This video provides a direct, clear-cut explanation of measuring length that is easily able to grasp because the instructor slowly explains which allows for the students to internalize the content. 

This game will enhance student's abilities to read measurements from a ruler.  It provides immediate feedback so that students are able to check their understanding.  This site has the flexibility of moving up or down in the level of challenge they feel most comfortable. 

This resource will provide further explanation of length through concrete examples such as pictures and students will be able to utilize this site's learning videos. 

If students are to complete this worksheet they should feel confidence in their ability to measure length. 

Pythagorean Theorem: A^2+B^2=C^2 where C is the hypotenuse(longest side) of a right triangle. 

This video does an excellent job in providing background and how the Pythagorean theorem works. 

This site has games to check for student understanding of Pythagorean theorem with 90 degree triangle problems.  These problems can range from simple small number problems to large number problems or even word problems. 

This website does an excellent job in not only providing examples but proving the Pythagorean theory so that students can truly internalize why it works versus simply viewing it as a formula. 

This sheet provides plenty of work problems to practice the Pythagorean Theorem along with being able to reinsure you're on the right path since provided with the answer key as well. 

Area:  Measurement of a surface such as a square, rectangle, triangle, quadrilateral etc. Perimeter:  Distance around a closed geometric figure. 

This video is a great tool in helping students to guide through a problem step by step providing solutions to area & perimeter.

This video does an excellent job defining both area and perimeter as well as setting clear instructions in a simplistic way for students to self-test. 

This is an extremely kid-friendly Prezi presentation of many slides full of resources such as catchy video/songs to help kids remember how to identify area and perimeter along with many examples also. 

This worksheet will help strengthen the student's understanding of finding the area and the perimeter along with an answer key. 

Volume:  The measure of the amount of space inside of a solid figure such as:a cube, ball, cylinder, or pyramid. 

This video does an excellent job in giving student's a concrete way of explaining how to determine volume, as in great visual explanations of finding the volume of 3 dimensional objects with drawings.

This is a fun game to check student's understanding over whether or not they are able to find Volume of objects and this game provides immediate feedback for student's so they can determine if they need further instruction. 

This site begins with a basic explanation of volume and the further you navigate through the site the deeper the concept along with great examples. 

This worksheet allows students to figure out the volume of objects pictured an can double check their answers with the key at the end.
