Elementary level students use clay, rolling pins, crayons, and beans in six creative, action packed, attention grabbing measuring activities.

Students gain experience using measurement related terminology in context. Includes student data sheets and an answer key. Allow 90 - 120 minutes to complete all six activities. Designed for 24 students working in groups of four. Balance suggested, not included.
