1. Unit Length Exploration
Unit Length General concepts for the 4 topics in each theme
The basic unit for the measurement of length is the unit length. Each topic has 2 principles that will be summarized
and organized into explorations.
unit length Application of general concepts with examples
2 unit lengths This section is used to build a connection between
4 unit lengths principles and types.
cm (centimeter)
In the ruler above, each number shows 1 centimeter. 1 centimeter is written
as 1 cm.
EExxpplloorree If the unit length is the matchstick, then the length of
toothbrush and pen can be found in the following way.
Type Study Lollipops as Unit Lengths Type Study
Following picture shows that the length of a log and 5 lollipop Introduction of principles and types
is the same as that of 3 lollipops and 2 scissors. Which one i The step by step problem solving method is
longer, a log or a pair of scissors? And by how much? shown for each representative type.
When the length of a lollipop is the unit length, how ma Learning through steps
lollipops are equal to the length of a pair of scissors? Similar types of problems help master the
concepts and principles behind them.
