  • Measure and estimate lengths in standard units
o   Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
Materials: 
  • measuring tools (ruler, yardstick, measuring tape, etc.)
  • colored tape
  • pencil
  • paper
Procedure: 
  • Before beginning the activity, refresh students on how to accurately measure (make sure the measuring instrument is lined up correctly at the beginning of what you are trying to measure, make sure the instrument is straight when you are measuring, etc.).
  • Have children select a partner.
  • The partner that is jumping first will stand behind a line and jump as far as they can.
  • When they land, their partner will mark their spot with tape on the floor.
  • The child that did the jumping will measure their own jump using a measuring tool of their choice.
  • Have them record their jump on a piece of paper.
  • The other child can then give it a try.

Make math fun for school-age kids
​by relating it to their lives.

Make math fun for school-age kids
Make math fun for school-age kids!
  1. Give the kids real-life objects to count. Kids love counting objects that they are familiar with, like cereal or funny-shaped pasta.
  2. Use real money when teaching about money.
  3. Use sports statistics to teach formulas and statistics. Have the kids use the sports page to calculate winning percentages and batting averages.
  4. Relate the math to the kids' real life interests. Kids love to eat snacks. Allow them to use edible items such as popcorn or M&Ms and enjoy it at the end of the lesson. 
  5. Create fun word problems for the kids to solve. Place the kids' names in the word problems and use real life experiences in the math problems such as "There are 10 stickers in Kathy's sticker collection. If the stickers are organized into 5 groups, how big is each group?"
6. There are 10 stickers in Kathy's sticker collection. If the stickers are organized into 5 groups, how big is each group?"
7.  Children like doing math, so early childhood is a great time for children to become interested in counting, sorting, geometry, patterning, measuring, and estimating.  By talking to children about how they are playing or what they are doing, you will help them become aware of math and build a mathematical vocabulary. For example, you might say that you notice each side of the child's building is the mirror image of the other. Let her know that there is a word that describes that kind of building — symmetrical. Similarly, if two children each claim their building is the largest, you might discuss how one is taller or wider or contains more blocks. If the child wants to measure how wide each building is, offer a string or ruler.
