LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by writing the two CERs
5min Teacher provides instructions on how to create a measuring tool. (Take a sheet of paper fold twice lengthwise. Use the folds as guiding lines and cut into 4 long strips. Glue the ends of the four strips to make one long strip.)
10-15min Students create a custom measuring tool. (Students make marks using their pinkies width to create a ruler, by making markings down the long strip of paper and adding numbers at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.)
10min Students use measuring tool to measure various items. Document with photos and record info into slideshow. Turn in via Goggle Classroom.
5min Go through notebooks and make sure everything is complete.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
