Measure length using objects and record results in a table
I can measure length using objects and record the results in a table.
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.
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.
