Topic: Measurement
Sub-topic: Measuring Lengths and Heights Using Local Units
Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Measure objects using local units
Compare and estimate lengths and heights
Previous Knowledge
Students already know how to describe objects as long, short, tall, or small.
Instructional Materials
Mathematics textbook for Grade 2, sticks, strings, rulers, body parts (hand span, foot).
Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Teacher asks learners: “Who is taller between you and your friend?” Learners respond and compare by standing side by side.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Length tells us how long something is. Height tells us how tall something is.
Local units used for measuring include hand spans, feet, sticks, ropes, and arms.
Examples:
A table can be measured using hand spans.
The classroom floor can be measured using feet.
Your friend’s height can be measured using a stick or rope.
Vocabulary: long, short, tall, longer, shorter, tallest, shortest.
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
Learners measure classroom objects using hand spans.
Learners measure classroom length with feet.
Pairs compare height using strings.
Assessment Checks:
What is length?
What is height?
Give one local unit for measuring length.
Notes (Expanded & Detailed):
Length and height describe sizes of objects. Local units are easy to use but can be different from person to person.
C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Length tells us how long, and height tells us how tall. Local units such as hand spans, feet, and sticks are useful for quick measurement.
Evaluation Method (Expanded):
Exit slip/quiz: Learners write one item they can measure with their foot and one item they can measure with their hand span. Teacher will collect slips and provide oral feedback.
Assignment (Expanded):
At home, measure a door with your hand span.
Follow-up Activity:
Next class, learners bring strings or sticks for practice.
Differentiation / Inclusive Strategies
Learners with difficulties will use simpler examples like measuring their books. Advanced learners will estimate before measuring.
