A Creative Start to our Measurement Lesson

Welcome to the Measurement Adventure!

Introduction: The Magical Measuring Forest

Good morning, Class 2! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure in the Magical Measuring Forest! 🌳✨ But before we set off, I need to tell you a quick secret. In this forest, everything is measured in very special ways!

Story Time: The Giant and the Little Mouse

Let me tell you a story about Freddie the Giant and Millie the Little Mouse.

Once upon a time, in the Magical Measuring Forest, there lived Freddie the Giant. Freddie was the tallest giant you could ever imagine. He loved to stretch all the way up to touch the clouds. But Freddie had a problem—his new friend Millie the Little Mouse wanted to see the cool things up high, but she couldn't reach them.

One day, Freddie had a bright idea! He decided to measure how tall he was compared to Millie. They grabbed Freddie’s large ruler made of golden tree bark and started measuring each other.

Discussion: What Should They Measure?

Now, I want you all to think! If you were Freddie and Millie, what would you measure in the forest? 🌲

Activity: Get Your Measuring Tools!

Now it’s your turn!

  1. Get into pairs and choose an item in our classroom that you would like to measure.
  2. You can use measuring sticks or even your footsteps as a way of measuring!
  3. Before we start measuring, discuss with your partner what you are going to measure and how you will record your findings.

Conclusion: Preparing for I Know How to Measure!

After our little adventure into the world of measurement, we'll gather together to share what we found. Remember, measuring is not just about numbers; it's about understanding our world better.

Let’s get measuring! 🎉🧮

Note:

Remember to always have fun while we learn, and be creative! The world around us is a great place to discover measurements together.
