Unit+on+Measurement



Before starting the unit, use the Student Interest Inventory.

 **Lesson 1 Graduated Order** **Instructional Group Size:** Small Group consisting of 5-8 students Given the apple die cuts, the learner will arrange the objects in order by size from biggest to smallest. The teacher will begin the lesson by having the children echo the following poem, Ungy, Mungy, Chicka Chicka Chungy, Alligator Alligator, Alligator Ungy What have we been talking about all week? Apples of course! Today, we are going to learn about the size of apples. We are going to look for the big apple, the small apple, and the medium apple. First, we are going to work with the blocks and the bears. Then, we will work with the apples to put them in order from the biggest apple to the smallest apple. By putting the apples in order, we will be learning the first steps to helping us learn how to measure. Measuring is important because it helps us know what size clothes to buy. It also helps us build our houses and determine what size materials we need. 1. The teacher will tell the students that we have three blocks on our table that we are going to use today. The teacher will ask the students to look at the blocks. She will ask “What is different about these blocks?” (They are different sizes.) 2. The teacher will hold up each of the blocks and tell the children the correct size of each block. She will ask them to identify what big, medium, and small means? 3. The teacher will model how to put the blocks in order by size from the biggest to the smallest. She will call out the name of the block and size as she puts them in order starting with the big block. 4. The teacher will ask the children to help her tell the order of the blocks. (Big, Medium, and Small) 5. The teacher will have each child identify the order of the blocks as they point to them just as they did as a large group. 6. The teacher will pass out bears that are big, medium, and small to the children. Each child will be given their own set of bears as well as the teacher. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">7. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will guide the children to put the bears in order. She will ask the children to “Please find your big bear and hold it up.” If someone cannot locate the big bear, the teacher will assist them in finding it. When all of the children are holding the big bear, she will ask the students to place the big bear in front of them. The teacher will continue with this for the remaining sizes of bears. When all of the bears are in order, the group will point to each bear and say the correct size to check and see if they have put the bears in the correct order. If everyone is not in the same order, the teacher will assist the child in putting them in the correct order. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">8. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will pass out the construction paper, glue, and apple die cuts. She will instruct the children to put the apples in order from the biggest apple to the smallest apple. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Today, we learned about the size of apples. We also worked with blocks and bears. We put our objects in order from the biggest to the smallest. Then call on a student to remind us how we put the apples in order from biggest to smallest. Tomorrow, we will put objects in order by length. This will help us when we start measuring how long items are around us. Remember this is important because it helps us figure out how tall we are so we can buy the right length in our pants. We don’t want to walk around with shorts on in winter. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will observe the children’s apple die cuts in order from the biggest to the smallest. She will indicate the order in which the apples were on a matrix. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will help the students that did not comprehend the lesson by using people figures. She will rename the sizes big, medium, and small with Daddy, Mama, and Baby. The teacher will use new objects in the classroom like books, cups, and people figurines to demonstrate the order of sizes. The teacher will start with the people since she is using family names that the children will already relate too. She will complete the same procedures as the first day using the new objects. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The students that mastered the first day activities will get to put the group members in order by size. Each student will be given a turn to put their friends in order. They will also learn that there can be more than just three sizes. They will learn about a fourth size tiny. They will get the opportunity to put big, medium, small, and tiny objects in order together. They will further their learning of seriating by completing the next lesson on ordering objects by length.

Each caterpillar will contain a picture of something that is familiar to children as short, long, and medium. They will name the caterpillars short, medium, and long. The teacher will introduce her caterpillars with these names. She will give the students the blocks and have them see which caterpillar is the same size as the block they are given. The students will measure their blocks by the length of the caterpillars. They will then identify the length of the block by the name of their caterpillar which they can remember by the picture located on their caterpillar. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> The students that mastered the objective will measure the other group members with string. Each student will lie down on the floor and the other friends will cut a piece of string the length of the child’s arms that is on the floor. The students will put the length of their friends’ arms in order on the wall outside of our classroom. They will draw the symbols of their friends next to each piece of string. They will also move on to our next lesson on measuring height and placing the heights in order.

We will learn how tall we are so we can make a class chart together. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Dinosaurs <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">2. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">People <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">3. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Computers <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">4. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">HyperStudio program <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">5. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Pre-Made Hyperstudio seriating game <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">6. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Matrix <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">7. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Pen <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The students will be evaluated on their independent practice of the HyperStudio game.

She will pick three students. One will be the tallest, one will be the shortest, and one will be a medium height. She will use the names of the students to help the individuals understand their height. She will have the students arrange the children in order from tallest to shortest. She will then have them identify the height of each child to show understanding. She will also have them work with a friend on HyperStudio to complete the new game like the day before. She will use group work to help the students understand. The teacher will have the students who showed mastery of the lesson help the students who did not master the lesson. She will have them use their own words and tools to communicate with their friends. She will also have each student begin using various objects to measure their friends. They will get to pick one classroom object and lay them beside their friend to see how many objects tall their friend is.

When all students’ eyes and ears are on the teacher, she will ask them to recite it with her. Then, the teacher will ask what that poem is about? (Pumpkins) Today, we are going to learn about the size of pumpkins. We are going to look for the giant pumpkin, the big pumpkin, the small pumpkin, and the tiny pumpkin. First, we are going to work with the leaves and turkeys. By putting the objects in order, we will continue our learning about how to measure. Measuring is important because it helps us know what size objects we need to buy. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">We have four leaves on the table that we are going to use today.

When all of the students are holding the giant turkey, she will ask them to place the turkey on the table. Then the teacher will guide the students through the process of finding the next size turkey. Since the students have been exposed to this many times, she will ask them, “What size turkey comes next? She will continue with the remaining sizes of turkeys until all children have their turkeys in order.

When the teacher has everyone’s attention she will say today we are going to measure objects using paperclips. We are going to place the paperclips beside the object and count how many paperclips we have used in order to know how long our object is. This lesson will prepare us to be able to measure our classroom objects using various materials just like a seamstress or a builder measures. One day some of you may decide you would like to have a job like this and then you will already know how to measure. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">I have some paperclips and ornaments and candy canes on the table today.

(candy cane) Then, I will put one paperclip next to it. I will continue putting paperclips until I reach the end of my candy cane. I want you to tell me if I need another paperclip or if I am at the end. The teacher will ask the students to tell her every time until they say she has reached the end. Last of all, we count the paperclips to see how long our object is. Let’s count them together. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">3. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Then the teacher will review the steps she did with the children.

<span style="display: block; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">**Lesson Plan 6 Measuring with Snowballs** <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Given four objects to measure with snowballs, the students will demonstrate understanding by using the self assessment and receiving 3 out of 4 smiley faces. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will begin the lesson by saying hands in laps, eyes on me, and ears open. When the teacher has everyone’s attention she will say today we are going to measure objects using snowballs. This is the second time that we have measured anything using other objects. We are going to place the snowballs beside the object and count how many snowballs we have used in order to know how many snowballs long our object is. This lesson will prepare us to be able to measure our classroom objects using various materials. It is important to know how to measure so that we can build things in real life and inside our classroom. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">9. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">I have some snowballs and some other objects on the table today. We are going to measure pencils and magnifying glasses together. Then you will measure some objects on your own. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">10. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will hold up the magnifying glass and say we are going to measure this first. I have a handful of snowballs to use to help me measure. The first thing that I have to do is put my magnifying glass on the table. Then, I will put one snowball next to it. I will continue putting snowballs until I reach the end of my magnifying glass. I want you to tell me if I need another snowball or if I am at the end. The teacher will ask the students to tell her every time until they say she has reached the end. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">11. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Then the teacher will review the steps she did with the children. First you have to do what? (Lay the object down.) What do you do next? (Start putting snowballs beside the object.) What do you do next? (Keep going until you reach the end of the object.) <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">12. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will pass out the pencils and give each child some snowballs. She will keep a pencil and snowballs for herself. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">13. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">She will guide the students through measuring the pencil by prompting them with questions like, “What do we do first, second, third?” <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">14. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">When everyone has reached the end of the pencil she will tell everyone to help count their snowballs. She will make sure that all of the students have the same number. She will assist the ones who did not receive the correct answer on the first try. Each child will tell their number of snowballs. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">15. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Then, the teacher will give each student the objects they will be using to measure independently. They will be given blocks, cars, mice, and leaves. She will make sure that each child has enough snowballs to measure all of the objects. She will tell them to measure one object and leave the snowballs beside it and continue measuring the others. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">16. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Once the students are finished measuring, they will be given the self-assessment rubric and stickers to evaluate their own work. When they have placed the stickers on their sheet, they can check their work with the teachers to see how many smiley faces they receive. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Today, we measured objects using snowballs. We laid the object down, and then measured from beginning to end. Finally, we counted to see how many snowballs long the objects were. Tomorrow, you will get to choose your own object in the classroom to measure on your own. You will get to choose the object and the materials that you measure the item with. You will be completing all of the work on your own. This activity will let you be just like a carpenter and measure your own materials. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">7. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Snowballs – makeup pads <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">8. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Magnifying glass <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">9. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Pencils <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">10. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Blocks <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">11. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Cars <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">12. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Leaves <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">13. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Mice <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">14. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Self-Assessment Rubric <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">15. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Stickers <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">16. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Teacher Self-Assessment Rubric <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">17. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Pen or Pencil <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will observe the students self-assessment papers to see if they mastered measuring 3 out of 4 objects correctly. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The teacher will help the students that did not comprehend the lesson by using new objects and materials to measure.

She will talk to the students about how you buy clothes and make sure that they are the right length so that your pants are not too short. The teacher will use an item of clothing to measure to show the students how they can measure it with another object. The teacher will not use the rubric this time to see if it was the rubric that caused them to not give their information accurately, when they actually understand the concepts presented. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The students who mastered the activity will get to complete the unit project as well as work with a peer who does not understand the concept of measurement.
