<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Ask the students what we can specifically use to measure the length of an object. (Ruler, tape measure, trundle wheel etc). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Ask the students what units of measurements might we measure the length of different objects. (mm, cm, metres, km, miles). <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Ask the students what we could use to measure the length of an object if we didn’t use a formal measure such as a ruler or a tape measure. Brainstorm with class and make a list. Point out and discuss examples of objects found in the classroom that students could use. Inform the students that these are **// __Informal Units.__ //** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Split students into small groups and have each group work with one informal unit to measure the lengths of some things found in the classroom (Activity sheet 1). For example: a desk, a book shelf, 1m ruler, length of room etc, Have students investigate how many informal units are needed to measure the length and record these findings as a class.
