Lesson Four – Ruler Lengths
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and model how to use rulers correctly to measure the lengths of different objects in millimetres and centimetres accurately.
The class can explain and illustrate how to read a scale correctly recorded in centimetres and millimetres when measuring the lengths of different classroom objects.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and model how to use rulers correctly to measure the lengths of different objects in millimetres and centimetres accurately
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to select and record the length of different objects in centimetres and millimetres for core and extension ability levels and in whole centimetres for support ability levels.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use rulers correctly to measure different lengths in millimetres and centimetres accurately.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to measure the length and height of different objects in metres, centimetres and millimetres using different measuring tools and equipment. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
