Good job you got it all right!

For that, let us give yourselves a (Pupils will do the applause.)
Dora Applause.

4. Review of the Past Lesson

Before we proceed to our new

lesson, let us first recall our previous
lesson?

What was our past lesson?

What was it all about? Our past lesson was all about solving
Yes_________________? word problems involving time.

Exactly right!

Take a look children, as you can

see in the pocket chart there are some
problems written on a card.
So, who wants to go here in front (Some pupils will volunteer to answer
to get one card and read the problem the problems given.)
written on it? Then, you are going to
write your answer on the board.

Problems:
1. How many minutes are there
from 11: 20 am. to 12:00 noon?
2.The pupils will begin their Math
class at 1:00 pm. The bell rings
after 40 minutes. The math class
ends at________.

Very good children. You made it!

Let’s all stand and give the “Aling (Pupils will do the applause.)
Dionesia Applause”

Is there any question about our past None ma’am.

lesson children?

It’s good to hear that!

5. Motivation

Now, children, I have here a picture.
What can you see in this picture?
What are they doing?
(Picture of a boy and girl measuring
objects using the ruler and meter stick.)
In that picture ma’am I saw a boy and girl
measuring objects using the ruler and
meter stick.

Very good!

Have you experienced measuring (Varied answers from the class.)

objects?

It’s good to hear that children!

B. LESSON PROPER

1. Presentation of the Lesson

Based on what you have observed and

answered, what do you think is our
lesson for today?
Based on what we have observed and
Yes _____________? answered ma’am, I think our lesson for
today is all about measuring objects using
appropriate tool.

Good thinking _____________!

Let’s give him a sounding applause!

Our lesson for today is all about

measuring objects using appropriate
tool.

3. Discussion

Now, I have here a selection. I will read it

first, listen to how I will read it then you
will read it again after me.

Understood?

( The pupils will read the selection al

together.)

Who are busy measuring the Fatima and Cesar ma’am.

different things in the classroom?
What did Fatima use to measure her centimeter ruler
pencil and book?

A centimeter is a unit of length.

This unit of length is shorter Its
abbreviation is cm.

(Demonstrate how to measure a pencil

or book using a centimeter ruler.)

Who among you can show us how to (Pupils will show how to measure objects
measure objects using centimeter using centimeter ruler.)
ruler?

What other objects can we measure ballpen, pad paper,etc.

using a centimeter ruler?

Who used a meter stick to measure the Cesar

blackboard?

What unit of length did Cesar use to

measure the blackboard? meter
 (Show the meter stick putting alongside
the centimeter ruler.)
A meter is also a unit of length. This
unit of length is longer. Its abbreviation
is m.

Who can show us how Cesar measured (Pupils will show how Cesar measure the
the blackboard with a meter stick? blackboard using meter stick.)

What other objects can we measure (Answers may varied.)

using a meter stick?

Why did Cesar use a meter stick instead Cesar use a meter stick instead of a ruler
of a ruler? because it is longer than ruler.

Why is it important to use a ruler or a It is important to use a ruler or a meter

meter stick? stick to measure objects appropriately and
accurately.
What unit of length were mentioned in centimeter and meter
the selection?
Which unit of length is shorter? centimeter
Which unit of length is longer? meter

Can we use meter to measure the book No, because the appropriate measurement
or pencil? Why? tool used to a short object is meter to easily
measure it.

Can we use centimeter to measure the No, because the appropriate measurement
blackboard? tool used to a short object is centimeter to
easily measure it.
(Ask the pupil to measure the
blackboard using the centimeter unit
and another pupil to use the meter unit.
Lend pupils to discover that it is better
to use the meter unit for longer objects
rather than centimeter.)
How many centimeters are there in a
meter?
(Show a tape measure and put it
alongside the meter stick. Ask pupils to
count the number of centimeters that
will make the equivalent of 1 meter.)

4.Generalization

Okay class, have you learned Yes ma’am.

something?
If so, I have here questions for you.
Again children, which unit of length is
used to measure short objects? centimeter
Which unit of length is used to
measure longer objects? meter

Very good children! I think you’re now

ready for a group activity.

5. Application

At this time, I prepared an activity

for you. This activity needs speed and
accuracy. Are you excited class? Yes ma’am.

Okay that’s great!

This time, I will group you into four. I

will give you two minutes to work with
your group and another two minutes
to present it. See and compare your
work with the other group.

What will you do to do your task Cooperation ma’am.

correctly children?

Definitely! All you need to have is

cooperation for this activity. The group
who will accomplish the task fast and
correctly will be announced as our
winner and will receive a prize from
me later.

Is it clear children? Yes ma’am.

Alright. Don’t open it yet children. Wait

for my go signal before you start
working with it.

Am I understood? Yes ma’am.

Now at the count of five, you must be

with your group.

(The teacher will count.)

Are all settled in? Yes ma’am.

Very good. I will give you only 5

minutes to finish the activity. Children,
you may start now.
