1. Next, I will dismiss the children to the desks, where we will practice
measuring length of some common desk objects together, like a
marker, crayon, or pencil.
2. Once I feel that the students are measuring accurately, I will give
directions for the partner measurement activity, and I will assign the
partners.
3. We will have a brief discussion about what working with a partner
looks like/sounds like before they begin.
4. We will pass out the recording pages, I will assign the objects and
they will begin. Each table group will have a variety of objects to
measure that will be useful in ordering by length when we wrap up
the lesson.
5. As the partners finish up, I will encourage them to check their
findings with their tablemates.
6. When everyone is done, I will instruct them to work together at their
tables to compare all of their objects.
7. I will first ask them to look at what their objects have in common and
if there is a way that they can compare them, bringing up the
essential question, Why compare length?
8. I will be asking each table to explain the order of length they put
their objects in, using words such as short, shorter, shortest, and
long, longer, longest.
9. Finally, students will record their final comparison on their pages by
drawing out the order of their objects.
10.I will wrap-up the lesson by reviewing our math goal and checking for
understanding.
