Measuring Objects

What is measuring?

​Turn and talk to a partner about what measuring is...

Discuss what we use to measure, why we measure, and how it can be beneficial in your everyday life.

Multiple Select

What type of tools can we use to measure stuff?

• Paperclips

• Ruler

• Meter Stick

• Book

Why can we use multiple items?

The normal tools we use to measure stuff would be a ruler or meter stick but we can use other tools too. We can measure stuff by saying that a pencil is 5 paperclips long or a door frame is 10 books long.

So what are we doing today??

Get into groups of 3 and I will give the instructions.

I will be giving each group a handful of paperclips and you will go around the room and measure 5 different items. You will write down the item and how many paperclips it is in length. After you have done this you will sit back down and log in to the Quizizz and begin taking it. Please try and not measure the same items as other groups
