Lenth Area & Volume Unit ideas for teachers

The topic that I chose to do my mindmap on was the measurement unit. I had a lot of fun finding different ideas in order for the students to relate to the different sub topics of this unit. I found some fun videos and different songs to help the students to remember the different formulas or definitions of different things in the measurement unit. In addition to the songs and videos I also found some fun interactive lesson plans to incorporate into the unit. This mindmap is geared toward teachers as a resource to use when teaching the unit of measurement to their students.

The Pythagorean Theorem

This blog has a lot of great worksheets on the pythagorean theorem. This blog could serve as a great resource for teachers when trying to find great creative worksheets to get the student's interested in the pythagorean theorem.

This is a great visual to show the student's to help them remember the different sides of the triangle when using the pythagorean theorem. The large hippo will help the students to remember that the hippo was associated with the hypotenuse.

This is a great student friendly video that will help students understand what is required in a triangle in order to use the pythagorean theorem. This would be a great video to kick off the pythagorean theorem sub-unit in the length area and volume unit. Students will get nice visuals in this video.

Area and Perimeter

This is an example worksheet of what the area and perimeter are of shapes. This worksheet gives examples of how to find the area and perimeter of shapes.

I found a great blog that had a fun song about finding the perimeter of an object. This song is to a tune that most student's most likely already know. Perimeter Song "The Farmer and the Dell" Perimeter is around. Perimeter is around. Oh, oh, don't you know, Perimeter is around. You add up all the sides. You add up all the sides. Oh, oh, don't you know, you add up add the sides.

Perimeter and Area Song This song is great for students to get involved with. This song helps connect perimeter and area musically to help the students to remember the definitions. To go further, a teacher could make up a dance to get the students moving.

Volume

This blog has a great idea for an activity for the student's to do to practice finding the volume of an object. This activity has to do with the student's finding the volume of a candy bar that the teacher will hand out. This would be a great hands on activity for the student's to do to practice finding the volume.

This is a great video with a catchy tune for student's to listen to and learn how to find the volume of an object. This video talks about length x width x height. This serves as a great visual for student's.

Surface Area

This is a great visual for the student's to look at to remember what the sufrace area is of an object as well as how to find the surface area of an object.

This is a great blog not just for surface area, but for all topics covered on this map. this activity involved building shapes out of mini marshmallows and the student's having to figure out different measurements from the different objects that they make with their mini marshmallows. This is a great hands on activity!

The Basics of Measurement

This is a great video to show to student's in order to show them how important measurement is. This video will also open student's eyes to the wide variety and ways to measure something. The student's have most likely already have measured something and used this skill, but just didn't realize it!

This activity is a great activity to introduce measurement to the students. Measurement is not only about measuring something and being accurate, it is also about comparing things to one another. This activity measures the students' with yarn and has the students compare their height to the other student's heights in the classroom.
