Lesson details
Key learning points
- Lengths and heights can be measured using different objects.
- When you measure accurately, the objects you use to measure should be the same size.
- When you measure accurately, there should be no gaps between your objects.
- When you measure accurately, the objects should be in a straight line from one end to the other.
- Measurements can be recorded in a table.
Keywords
Accurately - Working carefully so that there are no mistakes.
Results - A set of measurements or information that has been gathered after measuring or observing something. An outcome.
Table - A way of sorting information made of rows and columns.
Common misconception
Children may not use objects to measure accurately, for example following the shape of the object they are measuring rather than placing objects in a straight line. They may miscount the objects.
Encourage children to build a straight line of objects with no gaps first, then place the object they want to measure along the line. Encourage them to touch each object as they count.
