Today, I will determine the appropriate tool to measure an object in metric units of length.
Vocabulary
Teacher Resources
Metric Units of Length: 1 centimeter (cm) = about the width of the pinky finger (Measured using a ruler) 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters, about the length from the nose to outstretched fingers (Measured using a meter stick) Ruler
Considerations: In 1st grade, students had the experience of measuring with nonstandard units. They should know the smaller the unit of measurement, the more you will need. Giving second graders the opportunity to create and use a variety of rulers can help them connect their understanding of non-standard units from first grade to standard units in second grade. Make sure students have access to rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and tape measures for this unit. If an object is not exactly a centimeter or a meter, have students round to the closest centimeter or meter.
Steps: 1. Determine which measuring tool to use.
Meter stick
2. Align the edge of the object to the edge of the ruler. 3. Follow the object to the point on the ruler where the object ends.
Tape Measure
Application of MPs: MP5: What tool did 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 helped you determine how to measure each length?
