A. Preliminary Activities

 Prayer
“Before anything else, everybody please (Students bow their heads and pray.)
stand up and let us pray. Let us all bow
our heads and let us pray.”

 Greetings
“Good morning maam!”
“Good morning class!”
“Before you take your seats, kindly check
if there are pieces of paper under your (Students pick up the pieces of paper and
chairs, pick it up and arrange your chairs arrange their chairs.)
properly.”

 Checking of Attendance
“Now, let us check your attendance.
Raise your hand and say present if you
are present. Mr. ______, …” “Present maam….”

 Review of the Past Lesson

 Strategy: Recitation

“Yesterday you learned all about

_______?”
“Mr./Ms. _______ what was your topic all “Yesterday, we learned how to make
about yesterday?” schematic diagrams and we did the
“Very good! You may now take a seat.” schematic diagram of our dream house.”

B. Lesson Proper
B.1 Motivation
Strategy: Scrambled Letters

“Isn’t it that you are already familiar with “Yes mam!”

the tools and equipment used in Electrical
Installation and Maintenance?”

“I have here 3 words but the letters are

scrambled. These are related to the tools
and equipment you already had
discussed. In a ¼ sheet of paper, arrange
the letters to get the correct words.” 1. PULL PUSH RULE
2. RULER/ FOOT RULE
1. ULPL UPHS URLE
2. ULRER/ OFTO ULRE

“From the words that you have arranged, which

category do these tools belong?” “It belongs to the category of measuring
tools maam.”
“Mr/Ms_____, what do you think is the answer?”

“Very good! These tools are measuring tools. Having

said that, let us now proceed to our lesson which is
the system of measurement.”

B.2 Teacher’s Activity

Strategy: Interactive Discussion

SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT

A system of measurement is a set of units which can

be used to specify anything can be measured. These
are common units of measurement used in making
layout and installation of electrical materials:

A. Linear measures
1. English system provides the creative way on
how people can measure by themselves. For
example, people measure shorter distance on the
ground with their feet. They measure long distances
by their palms which is equal to a yard.
 Inch
 Yard
 Miles

2. Metric system is a decimalized system of

measurement. It exists in several variations with
different choices of base units. Metric units are
widely used around the world for personal,
commercial and scientific purpose.
 Millimeter
 Centimeter
 Decimeter
 Meter

B. English units and each equivalent

 12 inches = foot(ft)
 1 foot = 3yard (yd)
 1 yard = 36 inches

C. Metric units and each equivalent

 10millimeter (mm) = 1centimeter (cm)
 10centimeter = 1decimeter(dm)
 10 decimeter = 1meter

D. English to metric equivalent

 1 inch = 2.54 cm
 1 foot = 30.48 cm
 1 yard = 91.44 cm

E. The centimeter graduation

The graduation shows that every digit is .5mm

How to read the cm graduation:

1. First graduation is .5 mm
2. Second graduation is 1mm
3. Third graduation is 1.5mm
4. Fourth graduation is 2mm

F. The inch graduation

How to read the inch graduation:

1. First graduation is 1/16
2. Second graduation is 18
3. Third graduation is 3/16
4. Fourth graduation is 1/4, then follow the given
scale above.

The inch graduation in a steel rule:

Converting the unit of measurement from

English to metric and vice versa

Example:
1. 12 inches = __cm Cancel the common unit and
Since apply cross multiplication.
Perform the indicated
12 inches = 2.54 cm
operation.
1 inch

12 x 2.54 cm Perform the indicated

operation.
1 “Yes maam.”
Therefore: 12 inches = 30.48 cm

2. 6 feet = ________ inches

Since
6 feet = 12 inches
1 feet
6 x 12 inches
1

Therefore: 6 feet = 72 inches

“Did you understand the lesson class?”

“If you have any question just raise your hand.”

“Since there are no more questions, let us proceed
to your activity.”

B.3 Learner’s Activity

Strategy: Group Activity
(I will group the students into five groups. I will be
flashing some pictures of objects inside the
classroom and they will have to measure the length
or width of each object as a group. Afterwards, each
group will have to cooperate to convert the
measurements into the units of measurement being
asked.)
“Go to your group and perform the given task. Each
member should cooperate.”

Direction: Given the measuring tools, provide the

information being asked. Convert the measurements
into the required unit of measurements. Show your
solution

C. Generalization
Strategy: 1 Minute Paper
(I will let the students answer the question in
paragraph form.)

3. What is the essence of learning and

understanding the system of measurement
in our everyday life?

IV. ASSESSMENT
Activity: Short Quiz
I will let the students answer the five-item quiz.
 Directions: Convert the following measurements. Show your
solution. (1/2 sheet of paper)

1. 15 inch= ___ ft.

2. 5 mm = ___ cm
3. 10 inch = ___ cm
4. 56 cm = ___ yard
5. 103 yard = ___ inch

V. Assignment/ Agreement
Strategy: Advance Reading
Do an advance reading on the next lesson.
