Long Jump. Each child can participate in a long jump competition. How far have your friends jumped? Measure as accurately as possible using a combination of ropes. Who jumped the longest distance? Fill the following table.
| Name of the student | Estimated length of the jump | Actual measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 1 m | 1 m | More than 1 m |
Measurement Procedure: Students measure each jump using metre ropes. Record whether the jump was less than 1 m, exactly 1 m, or more than 1 m.
Determining the Winner: The student who jumps the farthest distance wins.
Measurement Method: Measurements are taken from the starting line to the closest mark where the student landed.
Explanation
The chapter encourages students to use metre ropes and their combinations (half metre, quarter metre) to measure jump distances accurately. This practical activity helps students understand length measurement through real-world application.
Solution Steps
Measure each jump using metre ropes.
Record whether the jump was less than 1 m, exactly 1 m, or more than 1 m.
Compare all recorded distances to find the farthest jump.
The student with the farthest jump distance wins.
