Walk, Jump, and Crawl on 1, 5 and 10 m line. Draw lines of 1 m, 5 m, and 10 m on the floor of the classroom or outside in the playground. How will you make these lines? Think and share with your friends. Walk, jump, and crawl on the lines.
Method: Lines can be made by repeatedly using the metre rope to mark 1 metre, 5 metres, and 10 metres on the ground.
For 1 metre: Use the metre rope once.
For 5 metres: The metre rope is used 5 times end-to-end.
For 10 metres: The metre rope is used 10 times.
Observations:
- Walking 10 metres takes more steps than 5 metres.
- Crawling covers the distance more slowly than walking or jumping.
Explanation
The chapter explains that making lines by repeatedly using the metre rope helps students develop an estimate of how big 5 m and 10 m is. This experience enables students to estimate and compare other lengths in their surroundings.
Solution Steps
Use the metre rope to mark 1 metre on the ground.
For 5 metres, use the metre rope 5 times end-to-end.
For 10 metres, use the metre rope 10 times.
Walk, jump, and crawl on each line to observe differences.
