Measure lengths in different ways.

How Will We Measure?

We will use these items to do the measurements:
Paperclips
Your hand
A small piece of string
Your steps

Gather Items to Measure

We want some things to measure! Gather up these items:
  • 2 Different sized books
  • pencil
  • plate
  • bag
Put them all on a Table, which you can also measure!
Also measure the height of a chair.
And the width and length of the Room you are in.

How To Measure


This book is 5 paperclips wide


If you don't have enough paperclips, then pick up
the ones you started with and use them again


Using Paperclips

For each item:
  • First guess how many Paperclips the length is
  • Then measure it using the Paperclips
ItemGuessActual
Example: Book34
Small Book  
Large Book  
Plate  
Bag  
Chair (height)  
Table (width)  
Table (length)  

Using Your Hands:

First guess how many "hands" are needed, then do the actual measurement:
ItemGuessActual
Small Book  
Large Book  
Plate  
Bag  
Chair (height)  
Table (width)  
Table (length)  

Using String:

First guess how many lengths of your string are needed, then do the actual measurement:
ItemGuessActual
Chair (height)  
Table (width)  
Table (length)  
Room (width)  
Room (length)  

Using Your Steps:

Now step out these distances:
ItemGuessActual
Chair (height)  
Table (width)  
Table (length)  
Room (width)  
Room (length)  

From Smallest to Largest

Lastly, list all the items you measured, from the smallest to largest distance.
Example: Spoon, Pencil, Fork, ...
 

Metric System of Measurement

The metric system is a system of measuring. It has three basic units:

m the meter for length
kg the kilogram for mass
s the second for time
With those three simple measurements
we can measure nearly everything in the world!

Examples:

Meter (Metre in UK)

The length of this guitar
is about 1 meter:
1 meter
 When unfolded this ruler
measures 2 meters:
ruler
   

Kilogram

1 kilogram
This gold bar has a
mass of 1 kilogram.


Dictionary
A dictionary has a
mass of about 1 kilogram.

Second

1 second is about as long as it takes to say "one thousand and one"

Larger or Smaller

But what if we want to talk about really big or really small things?
we learn about it in the next chapter.
see you guys :)
