Helping Your Students to Measure Up!

Measurement has become my absolute FAVORITE concept to teach in the last several years.  I have actually presented several sessions at Regional and State Conferences on measurement.  Most of my sessions have been on FREE resources that you can find on the internet to make measurement fun.  Most of the materials have come from the free printables available on the Math Learning Center website or my website.  I also found many ideas in Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally by Van De Walle, Karp, and Bay-Williams. 

I am placing my handouts on Scribd so that you can look through and see if you can find anything that you can use.  Each handout has pictures of the activities and links to where you can find any of the printables that are recommended. ( I will say that I haven't checked all of the links lately so some may have changed.)

TRC Handout 2010 Final

This is the Making Measurement Fun Handout from our Regional Kindergarten Conference (KTOT).  The activities can actually be used in higher grades too.

Making Measurement Fun! Handout


I'm sorry that I can't put all of the activities on Scribd, but there are just way too many that I have created.  I also have many of the activities that I made or adapted on my Shutterfly website:http://kindergartenrhode.shutterfly.com/ in case you want to see them. Just look in the sidebar for Math Ideas for Kindergarten (not just for Kindergarten though) and Measurement Workshops. 

Hope you can find some wonderful measurement ideas that will help your students to measure up! Let me know what you think about my materials.  It encourages me to create!
