Sample Activities:
· Students decide what units they should use to measure the weight of a textbook.
· Students discuss what units they should use to measure the length of the hallway outside their classroom.
· Students write about how they might measure the distance from the cafeteria to their classroom or the area of the gym.
· A nice approach to assessment of students' skills with this topic is to make a list of items that they can measure, such as the length of a piece of notebook paper, the weight of a teacher, the amount of water a bucket can hold, and the distance between Trenton and Newark, and ask them to name a measurement unit with which it would be appropriate to measure the given item. They discuss their choice of unit, estimate the measure of each item, and then actually measure it and compare it to their estimate and to the results of other students.
