Divide the class into groups with 5 children in each group.2. Call the children of one group at a time.3. Make them stand according to the increasing order of their heights.4. Tell other children of the class to write the names of these children according to the increasing order of their heights.5. Now, ask them:a. Who is the tallest in the group?b. Who is the shortest in the group?c. Combine the height of the tallest and the shortest. d. Find the difference of the tallest and the shortest. Repeat this process for other groups.Experimental LearningDraw three different lines on some paper: one short, one medium, and one long. Estimate their lengths in centimetres, then use a ruler to measure them. Are your estimates close to the real length?Let%u2019s Explore Experiential LearningTeacher%u2019s NoteEncourage students to explore and compare lengths using non-standard units (like their own handspan or a piece of string) before introducing standard units like centimetres and metres. A ribbon was 56 cm long. After I cut some, 37 cm was left. How much did I cut off? Values for Life Life Skills and Values
