At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
· Create ruler with 1-inch, 1 2 -inch, and 1 4 -inch intervals to generate measurement data.
Student Target
“I can make and mark a ruler.”
CCR Focus Standards
Geometry - Level B
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).6 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
Supporting Standards
Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
