Lesson Plan: Number, Money and Measure

Topic: Estimating and Measuring Length, Weight, and Capacity

Grade Level: First Level

Curriculum Area: Mathematics

Desired Outcome: I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units.

Learning Objectives:

1. Students will be able to estimate the length, weight, and capacity of objects using everyday things as a guide.

2. Students will be able to measure the length, weight, and capacity of objects using appropriate instruments and units.

3. Students will be able to compare and order objects based on their length, weight, and capacity.

4. Students will be able to solve problems involving length, weight, and capacity.

Materials:

• Rulers
• Scales
• Measuring cups
• Containers of different sizes
• Objects of different lengths, weights, and capacities
• Worksheets

Activities:

1. Introduction (10 minutes)

• The teacher will introduce the topic of estimating and measuring length, weight, and capacity.
• The teacher will ask students to share their prior knowledge about the topic.
• The teacher will explain the learning objectives for the lesson.

1. Estimating Length, Weight, and Capacity (20 minutes)

• The teacher will provide students with different objects of varying lengths, weights, and capacities.
• The teacher will ask students to estimate the length, weight, and capacity of each object using everyday things as a guide.
• The teacher will encourage students to explain their reasoning for their estimates.

1. Measuring Length, Weight, and Capacity (20 minutes)

• The teacher will provide students with rulers, scales, and measuring cups.
• The teacher will demonstrate how to measure the length, weight, and capacity of an object using the appropriate instrument and unit.
• The teacher will ask students to measure the length, weight, and capacity of the objects provided.

1. Comparing and Ordering Objects (20 minutes)

• The teacher will ask students to compare and order the objects based on their length, weight, and capacity.
• The teacher will encourage students to explain their reasoning for their comparisons and orders.

1. Problem Solving (20 minutes)

• The teacher will provide students with worksheets containing problems involving length, weight, and capacity.
• The teacher will ask students to solve the problems individually or in pairs.
• The teacher will review the answers with the class.

Assessment:

• The teacher will assess students’ understanding of the learning objectives through observation during the activities.
• The teacher will assess students’ ability to estimate, measure, compare, and order objects through the worksheets.
• The teacher will provide feedback to students on their performance and offer support where necessary.
