Primary 2 Maths: Measuring Lengths

The lesson plan is for a 1-hour mathematics class for primary 2 students on the topic of length. The 30 students will learn to recognize the meter (m) as the unit of length, estimate and measure 1m lengths, and compare lengths of objects. Materials include meter rulers and measuring tapes. The teacher will introduce meters by asking students' heights and showing a meter ruler. Students will then guess lengths of classroom items and draw lines to measure 1m. In the main activity, students will complete worksheets measuring various items. To conclude, the teacher will measure how long the student line is when they leave class.
