Height and Length Part 2 | Measurement | Y1 Maths | FuseSchool Kids

The video tutorial teaches how to measure length and height using different objects like paperclips and spaceships. It explains that while different objects can be used as measuring units, they vary in size, making comparison difficult. To standardize measurements, rulers are introduced, which measure in centimeters. Practical examples include measuring a magic bean, a giant tree, a beanstalk leaf, and a shoe, demonstrating the importance of aligning the object with the zero mark on the ruler for accurate measurement.

What is the primary difference between length and height?

• Length is measured in spaceships, and height is measured in paperclips.

• Length is how tall something is, and height is how long it is.

• Length is how long something is, and height is how tall it is.

• Length and height are the same.

Why can't we use paperclips to measure the height of a giant tree?

• Paperclips are too expensive.

• Paperclips are too small for such a tall object.

• Paperclips are not straight.

• Paperclips are not a recognized unit of measurement.

What is the advantage of using a ruler over other objects for measuring?

• Rulers are colorful.

• Rulers are made of metal.

• Rulers provide a standardized measurement in centimeters.

• Rulers are flexible.

When using a ruler, where should you align the object you are measuring?

• With the 1 mark on the ruler.

• With the 0 mark on the ruler.

• With the middle of the ruler.

• With the end of the ruler.

If a shoe measures 20 centimeters, what does this tell us?

• The shoe is 20 centimeters long.

• The shoe is 20 spaceships long.

• The shoe is 20 paperclips long.

• The shoe is 20 inches long.
