In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.
