Measurement Lesson Plans For Elementary Students in K-5
To begin, we have 20 whole group and teacher-led small group lessons and activities for every grade level K-5. These lessons focus on bringing students to mastery through hands-on and engaging activities.
Read Alouds to Teach Measurement in K-5
Not only are we sharing a collection of measurement read aloud books below for the elementary classroom, but we also have a free download of 100+ math read alouds you can tuck into any math curriculum for every topic all year! These read-alouds pair wonderfully with measurement lessons for elementary students in K-5.
Hands-On Measurement Centers for K-5
Our math measurement stations for all grades K-5 align specifically to each grade level’s standards but also vertically align. With the consistent format of these activities, students can work independently and enjoy a variety of hands-on measurement tasks during math centers.

Whether you want digital teaching content for whole group instruction or for student stations, we have Digital Guided Math for Grades K-3. K-2 Digital Guided Math is set up for one click to both SeeSaw and Google Classroom. Third Grade Digital Guided Math is one-click to Google Classroom.

More Measurement Workstations for K-5
We love student-centered activities that allow students to authentically practice their math skills throughout the school year. Research shows that spiraled-review of math skills is one of the six most highly effective math practices. We love having many ways for students to remember and practice measurement skills throughout the school year. Below are more measurement workstations for K-5
Math Journals and Numbers Notebooks
Another student-centered activity that is wonderful for both teacher-led small groups or workstations, is measurement word problems and solving mats. These mats and word problems are available for grades K-2 only. For elementary students in K-5, word problems are important to review all year long.
If you teach non-standard measurement and just need an all-in-one supplemental resource for measurement, you can take a look at our Teach This: Non-Standard Measurement resource.
Measurement Skill Pages for Elementary Students K-5
Many times a quick skill page is a teacher’s lifesaver for checking on mastery of skills or providing additional practice and we have you covered every ‘inch’ of the way. Our Standard Practice Line of Skill Pages provides 50 standards-aligned measurement skill pages for K-3.
Measurement Progress Monitoring and Intervention for K-2
We know students have varied learning abilities and developmental needs. When one-and-done is not enough, teachers need to be able to provide deep math understanding activities in meaningful ways. Enter: The Intervention Solution. If you would like more information and explanation on this you can find it in this blog post.
