2nd Lesson

I. Rationale
The reason for teaching this lesson is so that students understand the variety of measurements that we use in the world. They will acknowledge that an item can be represented as a different number measurement based on what tool they are using.

II. Overview
Grade level: 2nd
Subjects: Math
Topic of Study: Measurement
Time Allotment: 30 minutes
Standards: 2.3.3 Demonstrate an understanding that using different measurement units will result in different numerical measurements for the same object.
Objectives: Students will be able to compare the different length of objects based on the tools they use to find the measurement. 

III. Implementation
Procedure: 
1. Measure the length of an object using paper clips.
2. Measure the length again using connecting cubes.
3. Record your findings using pictures, numbers and words.
Technology Integration: 
Use the internet to play a matching definition game (Match It Measurements) of measurement and data words.
Use iPads to play Pixie to document your measurements with pictures, words, and voice memos.
Differentiated Instruction: 
-Cognitive Delay: Give extra time to those who need it. Spend my time working with the ones that need it the most.
-Gifted: Have the students who finish the lesson ahead of time help the delayed students so they can further their learning by having to teach it to others.
-ELL: The good thing about math is that it is pretty much the same in all cultures and languages. Numbers are universal and this is a hands on visual lesson. To reach those students needs I would learn the key words in their native language to better their understanding of the concepts.

IV. Assessment
Procedure:
-85% or better on the measurement definition game
-All students using the iPads appropriately and documenting their measurements accurately
-Answering questions such as, did it take more paper clips or more connecting cubes to measure
the table? Why?
Instruments:
-Match It Measurements game
-Pixie
-Paper comparing objects with different measurements.
