Summary of Learning Measurement
using cm and m
The students will learn to recognize the length of an object using cm and
meter and will explore about them.

The learning will extend by distinguishing between cm and m and they

will be able to measure an object by using their knowledge of
measurement.

The learning will extend beyond by estimating the length of an object

using m.

Big Question?
Why would we need to know the length of something?

We might need to get a tablecloth for a table and when

we go to the fabric shop we would need to know the
measurement.

We might need to know how tall we are

so that when we buy clothes, we know our
size.

We might want to get some carpet for the floor and

we would need to know how much carpet to get
before we buy it.

How can we measure the length of something?

There are many ways to measure something...

We could line lollipop sticks back to back and count

how many we used.

When people want to know who is taller, they often stand

back to back, or side to side to get an idea.

These are nice ways to get an idea of how long something is but could you go to
the fabric shop and say, my table is 20 matchsticks long and 10 matchsticks wide
in order to get a tablecloth?

The sales assistant may have a hard time getting you the right amount of
material. So, instead of matchsticks we use units of measurement that are
specific and do not change like the metre or centimetre.

meter
A meter is about the length of your arms outstretched.

Look around the room, is there anything that

you can think of that is about the same size as a
meter?

AFL:
Can you think of anything that is about a
meter in length?
1. Width of a doorway
2. Width of a large fridge
3. Depth of the shallow end of a swimming
pool
4. Tip-to-tip of a child's outstretched arms

Meters can be used to measure the length of a house or the size

of a playground, but what unit of measurement do we use if
something is much smaller than a meter?
