Geometric-measurement - Session 1: Length Learning Trajectory – Mathematical goals

Part 2: Measuring the length of the room - Set up

video of math teacher

Overview

This part launches work on a measurement activity: measuring the length of the room. The focus of this part is on estimating the length of the room. In the next part, work on this activity will continue with an opportunity to use a “personal ruler” to measure the length of the room and then to compare and discuss the results.

Work and insights from this activity will be the basis for other parts of this session. Further, measuring the room will be revisited when the focus in the module shifts to area and then again when the focus shifts to volume.
