GRADE 5 MATHEMATICS
Reads and measures temperature using a
thermometer (alcohol and or digital in degrees
Celsius.
SOLVE ROUTINE AND NON-ROUTINE PROBLEMS
INVOLVED TEMPERATURE IN REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS
LESSON 1:
Reads and measures temperature using a
thermometer.
Example;
Amie was going to the supermarket to buy some
stocked food because the President announced that
there would be a one-month lockdown due to
covid19 pandemic. The guard checked Amie’s
temperature before she entered the supermarket,
but the guard advised Amie to stay beside her for a
minute, and then he would check her temperature
again for a while.
QUESTIONS:
1.What do you think will happen to Amie?
2.Will she be allowed to enter the supermarket?
Why or why not?
3.What instrument was used by the guard to
measure Amie’s body temperature?
Temperature
- Is the hotness or coldness of an object. The
instrument used in measuring is the
thermometer. A thermometer has two
important elements:
The temperature sensor and scale. The
temperature sensor is the bulb, while the scale
shows the temperature.
The two common liquids inside the scale that go
up and down as the temperature changes are
alcohol and mercury.
The normal body temperature is 37°C (read as
37 Degrees Celsius). In the given situation
above, the reading of Amie’s temperature might
have been greater than 37°C which is why she
wasn’t able to enter the supermarket
immediately.
Let’s look at the thermometer. The top of the
red bar is pointing at 70 so the temperature is
70°C.
The boiling point of water is 100°C
Room temperature is 20°C
Certainly! Let’s explore the essential parts of a thermometer and their functions:
1. Spherical Bulb: The spherical bulb is the lowest part of the thermometer. It acts
as a reservoir for storing the mercury. When the bulb comes in contact with
temperature, the mercury inside moves up or down. It remains at room
temperature and is used to calculate temperature readings.
2. Capillary Tube: The capillary tube is a cylindrical body connected to the bulb. It
allows the mercury to travel when the temperature changes. The end of the
capillary tube is called the expansion chamber.
3. Expansion Chamber: Located at the top of the capillary tube, the expansion
chamber provides additional volume for the mercury. If the temperature rises
beyond a specific limit, the mercury reaches this chamber. It acts as the upper
limit for any mercury thermometer.
4. Scale Line: The scale line consists of a series of lines (divisions) within the
capillary tube. These lines represent temperature readings. In general use,
thermometers display degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Scientists may use a special thermometer with a Kelvin scale.
5. Stem: The stem is the longest part of the thermometer. It is the total glass body
that holds the bulb, capillary tube, and scale line. The stem allows us to read the
temperature accurately.
LESSON 2:
Solve routine and non-routine problems involving
temperature in real-life situations.
Problem 2:
How many degrees is 45°C lower than 80°C? Which
of the two has the hotter temperature?
Problem 3:
If the temperature at six o’clock in the morning is
26.5°C and becomes 31°C, what was the average
temperature?

Pay careful attention to your
work for then you will get the
satisfaction of a job well done
and you won't need to compare
yourself to anyone else.
Good luck!
Thank You.
