- How do we measure vertical measurement?
What are the example of body measurement to be
measured?
- How about Horizontal Measurement?
What are the example of Horizontal body measurements to

- And how about Circumference Measurement?
- What are the example of Circumferential body measurement

E. Values Integration:

(The teacher let the student to wear a small, and bigger

output on my email address (sallybarangan @ yahoo.com)
But before you measure your classmates I will remind you to respect
your classmate and be careful also in measuring. Understood class?
Group work activity:
Group 1: Will do the Vertical Measurements
Group 2: Will do the Horizontal Measurements
Group 3: Will do the Circumferential Measurements
(The teacher supervised the students in measuring their classmates.)
