Estimating Lengths
Mathematics · Measurement · procedural
Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimetres, and metres
What mastery looks like
- Estimate the length of a classroom object before measuring it
- Use a known reference (e.g. width of a finger ≈ 1 cm) to make reasonable estimates
- Check estimates by measuring and evaluate how close they were
Check your understanding
If Estimating Lengths looks at a car parked outside, can they estimate roughly how many metres long it is — and then check whether their guess was reasonable?
