Review Motivation:
[Teaching Strategy:] Interactive Learning
[Instructional Materials:] Length measurement tools (rulers, yarn, string)
Engaging Activity 1 - "Length Hunt": Students will go on a scavenger hunt in the
classroom to find objects of different lengths.
Engaging Activity 2 - "Length Comparison Game": Using two different colored
yarns, students will guess which is longer before measuring them.
Engaging Activity 3 - "Body Length Measurement": Students will use their own
bodies to measure lengths (e.g., how many hand spans long is a book).
Activities
Activity 1: "Length Hunt"
[Teaching Strategy:] Cooperative Learning
Materials - Scavenger hunt checklist, measuring tools
Significance - Encourages teamwork and hands-on experience with measuring
lengths.
Instructions -
1) Divide students into small groups and provide them with a checklist of objects to
find.
2) Students will measure the length of each object found using a non-standard unit
(e.g., paper clips).
3) Groups will present their findings to the class, discussing which objects were
longer or shorter.
Rubric
- Participation in the group - 5 pts.
- Accuracy of measurements - 5 pts.
- Presentation clarity - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) Which object was the longest you found?
2) How did you measure the objects?
3) Did you find any objects that were the same length?
Activity 2: "Length Comparison Game"
[Teaching Strategy:] Inquiry-Based Learning
Materials - Two different colored yarns, measuring tape
Significance - Helps students develop critical thinking and estimation skills.
Instructions -
1) Present two pieces of yarn of different lengths to the class.
2) Ask students to predict which yarn is longer and why.
3) Measure the yarns together and discuss the results.
Rubric
- Prediction reasoning - 5 pts.
- Participation in measuring - 5 pts.
- Discussion contributions - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) Which yarn was longer?
2) Why did you think that?
3) How can we compare lengths of different objects?
Inclusive Activity 3: "Body Length Measurement"
[Teaching Strategy:] Experiential Learning
Materials - None
Significance - Engages students without the need for materials, promoting inclusivity.
Instructions -
1) Have students sit in a circle and choose an object (e.g., a book).
2) Ask them to measure the length of the object using their hand spans.
3) Discuss the results as a group, comparing lengths measured by different students.
Rubric
- Participation in measuring - 5 pts.
- Sharing results - 5 pts.
- Ability to compare lengths - 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:
1) How many hand spans long was the object?
2) Did everyone measure the same length? Why or why not?
3) What other ways can we measure lengths?
Analysis:
Activity 1 - This activity allows students to engage in cooperative learning while
practicing measurement skills. They learn to identify and compare lengths through
hands-on experience.
Activity 2 - Inquiry-based learning encourages students to critically think about their
predictions and learn from the outcomes of their measurements, reinforcing the
concept of comparison.
Activity 3 - This inclusive activity allows all students to participate actively and use
their bodies for measurement, promoting a deeper understanding of length and
comparison without needing materials.
Abstraction:
Application:
[Teaching Strategy:] Project-Based Learning
Task 1 - Students will create a "Length Book" where they measure items around
their home and document the lengths and comparisons.
Task 2 - Students will engage in a community project where they measure the
lengths of playground equipment and compare them with their classmates’
measurements, fostering collaboration and real-world application.
Assessment:
[Teaching Strategy:] Socratic Method
[Instructional Materials:] Worksheets for recording answers
Question 1 - What is the length of your pencil compared to your ruler?
Question 2 - How can we arrange different objects by their lengths?
Question 3 - Why is it important to know the lengths of objects around us?
H.O.T.S.:
Question 1 - Why might one method of measuring be more useful than another?
Answer 1 - Different methods may provide more accurate results depending on the
object's size and context.
Question 2 - How would you explain the concept of length to someone who has
never heard of it?
Answer 2 - Length is a measure of how long something is, often compared to other
objects.
Question 3 - Can you think of a situation where measuring length is important in your
daily life?
Answer 3 - Measuring length is important in cooking, building, or crafting to ensure
things fit correctly.
Assignment:
Assignment 1 - "Length Exploration"
[Guiding Overview for the Teacher:] Instruct students to measure three objects at
home and compare their lengths in class.
[Assessment Question:] What are the lengths of the objects you measured, and
which is the longest?
Assignment 2 - "Length Story"
[Guiding Overview for the Teacher:] Have students write a short story involving
objects that vary in length and how they compare to one another.
[Assessment Question:] Describe the lengths of the objects in your story and how
they relate to each other.
