Lesson Objectives

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

1. Understand the concept of measurement in centimetres.
2. Use a ruler to measure objects accurately.
3. Compare lengths of different objects using measurement in cm.

---

Required Materials

• Rulers (cm)
• Various classroom objects to measure (e.g. pencils, books, erasers)
• Measurement worksheets
• Whiteboard and markers

---

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin the lesson by discussing the importance of measuring objects.
• Ask the students why they think measuring is important in everyday life.
• Introduce the centimetre as a unit of measurement, explaining how it is used for measuring length.

---

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Demonstration:

   • Show the students how to use a ruler to measure the length of an object.
   • Use a pencil and demonstrate placing the ruler at the beginning of the object and noting the measurement.

2. Key Vocabulary:

   • Length
   • Centimetre (cm)
   • Ruler
   • Measure

3. Measurement of Objects:

   • Provide a few examples of everyday objects and ask the students to predict their lengths in cm before measuring.

---

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Have the students pair up and choose 3 different objects from their desks to measure.
• Instruct them to measure each object in centimetres using their rulers.
• As they measure, encourage them to share their findings with their partner and discuss any differences in their measurements.

---

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Distribute measurement worksheets that include pictures of various objects and empty lines for students to fill in the measurements.
• Ask them to measure the objects on the worksheet in centimetres and write the correct measurements next to each item.

---

Conclusion (5 minutes)

• Gather the students’ attention and review what they learned about measuring in cm.
• Ask a few students to share their findings from the worksheet.
• Reinforce the importance of accurate measuring and how it applies to various real-life scenarios.
• Announce that in the next lesson, they will practice measuring longer objects and using addition to compare lengths.

---

Assessment

• Collect the measurement worksheets to assess the students' understanding of measuring in centimetres.
• Observe students during guided practice for engagement and correct measuring techniques.

---

Homework

• Ask students to find three objects at home and measure them in centimetres, writing down their measurements to share in the next class.
