Objective(s)
Students will use the most appropriate unit of length to the nearest , ,
1/8. Students will be able to measure lengths using different systems and
using different units of measurement. Students will understand the smaller the
unit of measurement, the more accurate the measurement gets.

III.

Procedures
As a whole class, teacher will present a visual model of the lesson. Teacher
will model with class participation on how to find the nearest measurement to
, , 1/8.
