Objectives for this lesson:
1.
Given numerical conversion problems, students will correctly convert linear measures between kilometres metres with at least 80% accuracy.
2.
Given real-life measurement scenarios, students will solve word problems involving linear measurement with at least 80% accuracy.
3.
During hands-on measurement activities and group problem-solving tasks, students will show confidence and persistence when solving linear measurement problems by actively participating and attempting all assigned activities.
Important terms to remember
Metre (m)
A metre is a standard unit of length used to measure long objects and medium -sized distances..
A metre is used to measure things that are bigger than a ruler but not very far away.
👉 Examples:
The length of a desk
The height of a door
The length of a football field
🧠 Think:
“A metre measures things around me.”
Kilometre (km)
A kilometre is a standard unit of length used to measure long distances.
A kilometre is used to measure very long distances, like how far places are from each other.
👉 Examples:
The distance from home to school
How far you travel on a car trip
