Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
Students will explore different units of measurement (inches, feet, centimeters and meters) and identify when to use each type of measurement in real-life situations.
Students will practice measuring length with accuracy and drawing lines to a specific length, by completing a range of measuring challenges to create a picture.
Students will explore centimeters and meters and use tape diagrams to convert between the measurements. They will apply their knowledge when completing a range of measurement challenges.
Students will complete a series of word problems that involve adding and subtracting distance measurements. Students will solve an animal lineup challenge whilst solving their word problems.
Students will brainstorm at least three objects they would like to measure. After creating their list, they will estimate the length of each item, carefully measure it, and compare their estimates with the actual measurements.
Students will recap and apply the different units of measurement that they have explored during this unit. They will do this by ‘competing’ in the Measurement Olympics, which is a fun series of measurement challenges.
