Learning Targets
- I can use measuring tools to measure the length of objects. #dok1
- I can measure the length of objects using appropriate tools. #dok1
- I can describe how measuring an object shows that length is continuous without gaps or jumps. #dok2
- I can explain why linear measurement does not have breaks between units. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Measuring the length of objects helps us understand that length is continuous, not just whole numbers or counting steps.
- Using the right measuring tools allows us to accurately find out how long something is by laying units end to end.
Essential Questions
- What tools can we use to measure how long something is?
- How do we know if we are measuring length correctly?
- What does it mean for length to be continuous?
- Why is it important to use measuring tools without gaps or overlaps?
- How can measuring different items help us understand how measurement works?
