2. Math – Chapter 8

3. Lesson 1 – Understanding Length and Height Length – how long something is from one end to the other Height – distance from the bottom of something to the top

4. Lesson 2 – Inches and Feet In old times people used fingers and feet to measure length and height. Inch comes from the distance from the tip of a persons thumb to the first joint. Guess where foot comes from! Inch (in.) – a small unit of measure Foot (ft.) – a unit of measure equal to 12 inches

5. Lesson 3 – Inches, Feet, and Yards Yard (yd.) – a unit of measure equal to 3 feet or 36 inches

6. Lesson 4 – Problem Solving Guess and check – measure a path that is not straight

7. Lesson 5 – Centimeters and Meters Centimeter (cm) – small unit of measure, about the width of a childs index finger Meter (m) – unit of measure equal to 100 centimeters 1 foot is approximately 30 ½ cm. 1 yard is approximately 90 ½ cm – almost a meter

15. Lesson 13 – Problem-Solving Application Children will choose the appropriate tool for measuring and the appropriate unit of measure. A ruler measures the length of something A cup measures how much something can hold A scale measures how heavy something is A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is
