​Lenth

Lenth is how long an object is measured in units. Such as inches, feet or yards. Depending on the size of the object the unit of measurement will change.
Below is a short video that gives more detail:

Multiple Choice

How many inches total is the yellow tape measure showing?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Open Ended

Give me three ways you will use length, area and volume in your daily life. Please make sure you restate your answer, use complete sentences and correct punctuation.

Multiple Select

What unit of measurement would you use to find the size of this leaf? Hint more than one answer

• Inches

• Feet

• Centimeters

• Yards

Fill in the Blank

What length is the red pencil?

​Area is how many squares fit inside an object. Most things are measured in square units ( E.g. Square inches, square feet, square yards) The formula for area is Length X Width.
Below is a video that describes area more in depth:

​Area

Multiple Choice

Find the area of the rectangle

• 10

• 28

• 6

• 28.5

Multiple Choice

Find the area of the square

• 10

• 26

• 8

• 25

Volume is how many cubes fit inside of an object. These are measured in cubic units (E.g Cubic feet, cubic yards, cubic meters) The formula for finding the volume of a shape is Length X Width X Height. Before is a short video that goes more into detail.

​Volume

Multiple Choice

Find the surface area of the cube.

• 90

• 210

• 240

• 300

​When finding the length of an object your not only measuring, you are finding the pieces to a formula that may help you later,

​​Length

​In order to find the area of a shape you must first know how to find the length as well as the width, if you can't measure the length correctly you won't be able to find the area of the shape.

​​Area

The final step to the math puzzle is putting everything together and finding the volume! Not being able to correctly find the pieces can make solving it impossible.

Length, Area and Volume

Real World Application:

There are many ways you will need to use these skills in your daily life. Firstly if you ever decide to buy furniture or something large you'll need to measure those items to make sure they will fit in your home. Next say you buy a new puppy and need to build a fence for your backyard. You'll need to know the area of the backyard to know how much fencing material you will need. Lastly say you want to buy a fish tank and you need to know how much water to fill it with. Know the volume of the fish take will help you with that!
