Question 1 of 10beginner🔧 ApplyShort Answer3 marks

Use your textbook to measure the length of the following objects. | Objects | Estimated length | Actual length | Desk | | | Blackboard | | | Window | | |

Correct Answer

Activity: Students estimate and then actually measure using their textbook.

Example Measurements:

(a) Desk: Estimated: 3 textbooks Actual: 3 textbooks

(b) Blackboard: Estimated: 8 textbooks Actual: 9 textbooks

(c) Window: Estimated: 2 textbooks Actual: 2 textbooks

Note: The actual measurements will vary based on the size of objects in the classroom.

Learning: Estimation helps us guess, but actual measurement gives the precise length.

Explanation

This activity from the chapter encourages children to first estimate lengths using their textbook as a measuring tool, then verify by actual measurement. This develops both estimation skills and understanding of non-standard units of measurement.

Solution Steps

  1. Estimate the length of each object using your textbook as a reference.

  2. Actually measure each object by placing the textbook end-to-end.

  3. Record both estimated and actual measurements in the table.

  4. Compare your estimates with actual measurements.
