Whitman Elementary - Tulsa Public Schools

4.1a
Second grade teachers will introduce the use of a ruler by modeling how to measure correctly
using lines on the board and/or objects the teacher can hold in front of the class. Several
students can also model measuring correctly with a ruler. The students can then measure
their pencils at their seat so the teacher can check to see if each student can do this
correctly. Practice can then be done at measuring stations set up around the room with
objects to measure, 3-5 items at each station. The students will be given a chart with the
items at each station listed. They will then visit each station (3-5 students at a station) and
record the measurements on their chart. When everyone’s chart is complete, results will be
shared and any discrepancies in measurements will be addressed by the student measuring
the item with the class watching.
