Have them measure the lengths of these objects in centimetres and record their findings.Maths Lab Activity Experimental LearningFind two objects in the classroom - one longer than your math book and one shorter than your math book. Can you prove it by measuring?Maths Challenger Critical ThinkingDraw two different paths on a piece of paper: a straight line and a zigzag line. Use a piece of string to measure each path and then use a ruler to measure the string. Compare the lengths of the two paths. Which is the longest?Let's Explore Experiential LearningTeacher%u2019s NoteEncourage students to appreciate the importance of accurate measurement. Make it a point to demonstrate that aligning the %u2018zero%u2019 of the measuring tool with the start of the object is crucial. Learning to measure length of things helps you know how much you need to buy or use for making clothes, furniture etc. It also helps you get a sense of what will fit into some space.Values for Life Life Skills and Values
