Through this lesson, children should be able to:
- Compare the length of different objects
Let’s get to know this lesson, through this quick video:
| Teaching Aids | Student Kit | Workbook |
|---|---|---|
| Flashcards Candles Lighter Glue (self-prepared) Pencils of different length (self-prepared) Rubber band (self-prepared) | Mini Height Chart | Page 24 |
Let’s ‘stretch’ this lesson!
When you teach the children to identify long and short objects, make sure you compare different objects as determining the length of an object must take into account its relative size.
What good questions can you ask in this lesson?
| Remembering | Understanding | Applying | Analysing | Evaluating | Creating | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arranging Objects | What is this? | What is the difference between these colour pencils? | How do we measure the length of each pencil? | Which pencil is the longest/shortest? | Why do you think this pencil with the most coins is the longest? | Can you suggest another way to measure the pencils? |
| Mini Height Chart | What is this? | What can the chart do? | How do we make Alfa taller? | Which Alfa is the tallest/shortest? | What do you think are the advantages of being tall/short? | Can you name other things/creatures that grow in height? |
