Measurement Day 3

The students are learning to measure objects using centimeters. They previously measured with non-standard units. Now the teacher will demonstrate how to use a ruler to measure in centimeters, pointing out the centimeter side and 0 mark. The students will then practice measuring their books, crayons, and name cards with rulers, recording the measurements. Finally, they will write one thing they learned about measuring. Their work will be assessed formatively through their graphic organizers.

I can start at 0 when measuring.

I can use my ruler to measure things around me.

Introduction:
Role of the teacher:


Yesterday we started measuring things around us using dice, dominos and paper clips.
Presenter:
Today we will be practicing using our rulers to measure.

and with each other.

*demonstrate how to find the cm side of the ruler*


*point out the 0 on the ruler*
It is very important to start at 0 when you measure because otherwise you will get a bigger
number than the actual size of your object.
*demonstrate how to measure with cm*
Im going to read you a special book. The pictures in this book are the actual size of the
animals they show.
*read Actual Size*

Activity:

*demonstrate how to find the cm side of the ruler*
*point out the 0 on the ruler*
*demonstrate how to measure with cm*
With the same partner you worked with yesterday, I want you to use your rulers to measure
