Lesson—Measurement
Goals/Key questions:
Students will be able to use a ruler to measure objects to the nearest cm. Students will identify
when it is most appropriate to use cm versus m when measuring.
Learning Objective:
Students will identify and explain which unit of measure is most appropriate between cm and m with a
partner by completing a think, pair, share.
Students will identify which unit of measure is most appropriate between cm and m by completing an
exit slip.
Students will measure the length/width/height, to the nearest cm, of different objects by working
through the measuring activity worksheet and exit slip.
GL0s/SL0s addressed:
Use direct and indirect measurement to solve problems.
Shape and Space (measurement)
Demonstrate an understanding of measuring length (cm, m) by:
• selecting and justifying referents for the units cm and m
• measuring and recording length, width and height.
Materials:
-Google Slide Presentation
-Whiteboard/marker
-Rulers (X25)
-Meter stick
-Measuring activity page
-Clipboards (available for those who would like them)
-Exit Slips (different slipf for each student)
Think Pair
Share: When
do we use cm -Teacher will have students work with their
vs m? shoulder partner for the think, pair, share
Approx. 4-5
-Students will continue to work with
min
-Teacher will put up different items that we their shoulder partner to decide
measure. Students will think, pair, and which unit is best to measure the
share to decide which unit is best to use chosen item.
when measuring
Conclusion -Have distributors hand out exit slips for -Distributors will hand out exit slips
students. When done, exit slips go in pink for everyone
Exit Slip bin and then students can grab a book for
DEAR. (write instructions on board) -Students will complete exit slip on
Approx. 5 min own at level 1
-Observation/Discussion (F)—Instructor will look for students who are listening, participating, and
engaged in both large and small group discussion. Instructor will look for students who are able to apply
the skills and knowledge from the group discussion to the think, pair, share, as well as the measuring
activity. Instructor will look for students who are confident in their measuring ability around the
classroom.
-Measurement Activity Sheet (F)—This is given as a chance for students to practice their measuring
ability and is difficult to accurately assess; however instructor will look for students who are able to
measure to the nearest cm and will use this to determine which students require more attention and
practice.
-Exit Slip (F)—Instructor will look for accurate measuring of lines and correct identification of which unit
to measure with. Each exit slip is different so students will have to do this on their own and their name
will be included. This will be used to determine the next lesson in measuring.
