Core (introduce and practice new concepts & procedures):

Activity:
- Students will have work sheets that have different length of
pictures.
- They will take the measurement using cubes as a measuring unit.
- Then write how many cubes for each picture to know which taller
and which shorter.
- Note: Teacher will show kids 2 samples on the board

Close (wrap up, discussion, brief review activity or assessment):

Activity - Measuring big real things

Kids will have a work sheet contain photos of objects

In the class, students will choose one small object as a unit for
measuring such as, (cubes, feet, pencil, clips, chalks, etc.
They will measure all the real thing as shown in the work
sheet
Then write down how many units did they measure for each.
As a result, they will fill down, which object is the tallest, and
which one is the shortest.
Each student will have chance to choose an example from their
sheet, and say for example: picture a, tallest because it has 7 cubes,
but picture b, shortest because it has 2 cubes.
