Measure Lines with a Ruler
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
Students use a ruler to measure lines and record their lengths. They will also draw lines to specified lengths, reinforcing their understanding of measurement and accuracy. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.
Learning Objectives:
- Measure the length of lines accurately using a ruler.
- Record the measured lengths in centimetres.
- Draw lines to specified lengths, improving precision and understanding of measurement units.
How the Activity Works:
Students will first measure a set of lines using a ruler and record their lengths in the appropriate units (centimetres). They will then be tasked with drawing lines to specified lengths, such as drawing a line exactly 5cm long. This activity helps students practise both measuring and drawing lines accurately, reinforcing their understanding of length and the use of a ruler in real-world applications.
