With limited assistance from peers and the teacher measure the length of different fish provided during guided practice

With assistance from peers and the teacher TSWBAT accurately measure the length of various fish using non-standard units; color tiles.

A completed transparency data table representing the measurement of each fish on the overhead transparency.

A teacher- made rubric: “Non-Standard Unit Measuring Rubric” will be used to assess student’s ability to measure a fish with color tiles including;

-Placement and accuracy of non-standard units

-Correctly recording the measurement non-standard units

-Unit specifics of recorded fish length data

-Use of correct grammar in written responses

Working in pairs TSWBAT measure the length of the fish in the independent practice using non-standard units.

In pairs TSWBAT accurately measure fish during independent practice using the color tiles; non-standard units.

A completed worksheet where a fish was measured using non-standard units

As a class TSWBAT communicate and reason solutions to measuring challenges.

As a whole group TSWBAT reason and contribute “challenges” and “tip” of measuring fish after hands-on experience.

Verbally participate by sharing ideas of “challenges” and “tips” for measuring process.
