Lesson Script: Measuring with cm and mm

Grade Level: 3

Duration: 30 minutes

Subject: Mathematics

Topic: Measuring with cm and mm

---

Introduction (5 minutes)

Start by greeting the students.

“Good morning, class! Today, we’re going to learn about measuring objects using centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm). Can anyone tell me what measuring is and why we might do it?”

Allow students to respond. Explain that measuring helps us understand how long or wide things are, and it's an important skill in everyday life.

Objectives (2 minutes)

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand the difference between centimeters and millimeters.
• Accurately measure objects using a ruler marked in cm and mm.
• Complete basic measurement problems.

Understanding Centimeters and Millimeters (8 minutes)

Centimeters and Millimeters Defined

• Centimeters (cm): A centimeter is a unit of length that is equal to one hundredth (1/100) of a meter. It's commonly used to measure longer items like books, tables, and people.

• Millimeters (mm): A millimeter is a smaller unit of length that is equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a meter. Millimeters are used for measuring smaller objects like beads or paper thickness.

Use a ruler to visually demonstrate the measurements: point out that there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter.

Visual Representation

Show a ruler with both cm and mm clearly marked. Explain how to read the ruler:

“Here, each large number represents 1 cm, and there are 10 small marks in between each cm that represent mm. For example, if I measure an object that ends at the second small line after 3 cm, it measures 3.2 cm.”

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

Distribute rulers to each student.

Activity 1: Measuring Objects

1. Task: Have students choose 5 different objects at their desks to measure.
2. Instructions: They should write down the length of each object in both cm and mm. For example: if an object measures 4 cm, they should also say it’s 40 mm (since 1 cm = 10 mm).

Give students 5 minutes to measure and record their findings.

Activity 2: Share Findings

1. After measuring, ask students to share their findings with a partner.
2. Walk around to assist any students who may have questions.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

Distribute a worksheet with the following tasks.

Worksheet Tasks:

1. Measure the length of your desk in cm and mm.
2. How many millimeters are there in 5 cm?
3. If a pencil is 7 cm long, how long is it in millimeters?
4. Draw a line that is exactly 8 cm long. How many millimeters is that?

Homework Assignment (5 minutes)

Explain the homework tasks for further practice.

Homework Tasks:

1. Measure 3 items at home (like a book, a spoon, and a window sill) and record their length in cm and mm.
2. Write a short paragraph explaining which item was the longest and which was the shortest.
3. Complete the following:
   • Convert 6 cm to mm.
   • A piece of string is 9 cm long; how long is it in mm?

Answers to Homework:

1. Varies (students' individual measurements).
2. Varies (students' individual writings).
3. • 6 cm = 60 mm.
   • 9 cm = 90 mm.

Conclusion (2 minutes)

Wrap up the lesson.

“What did we learn today about centimeters and millimeters? Why is it important to measure things accurately?”

Encourage responses and highlight key takeaways.

“Remember, measuring helps us in all sorts of ways! Great job today, everyone! Make sure to complete your homework for tomorrow.”
