Today I will determine the difference in the length of two objects using subtraction.
Vocabulary
Teacher Resources
Difference in length: how much longer or how much shorter one object is than the other
Considerations:
Standard (Customary) Units of Measurement: inch = thumb knuckle length foot = 12 inches yard = 3 feet (36 inches)
The focus of this lesson should be on drawing a number line and counting back from the longer length to the shorter length.
Metric Units of Measurement: one centimeter = width of pinky 25 centimeters = one ruler one meter = four rulers (100 cm)
Students will continue to compare the lengths of objects. Remind students there are two ways of comparing objects. One object can be longer than another and one object can be shorter than another.
Steps:
1. Measure the two objects using the appropriate tool. 2. Draw a number line and write the longest measurement on the end. 3. Starting on the longest measurement, count back to the shortest measurement. 4. Record how much longer or shorter the object is.
Application of MPs: MP5: What tool can you use to help you solve the problem? MP6: What do you need to do to ensure your answers are correct when measuring? MP7: What concepts or rules help you determine how to measure each length?
