ACTIVITY # ____
A Sample Instructional Plan in Mathematics

NAME: ___________________________________
The sample instructional/lesson plan presented below serves as a model as you are getting started in the process of lesson
planning in mathematics. Study the lesson and answer the questions after the lesson plan. DEADLINE: September 14, 2019.
Parts of the Lesson Contents and Activity
I. Learning Objectives At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. State the importance of accurate measurements.
2. Demonstrate the basic measures of length, width, height and weight by
measuring objects.
3. Record accurately the different measurements of given objects.
II. Subject Matter Measures of length, width, height and weight
Instructional Materials Ruler, tape measure, yardstick, weighing scale, thermometer, books, plastic
container, pencils, notebooks
III. Learning Activities How do we measure objects of different sizes? How do we compare one
Preparatory Activities measurement to another? Why do we need to know the measurement of an
object? Explain to learners that in this lesson they will use basic standard
measurements to measure objects.
Display a ruler, tape measure, yardstick and weighing scale. Let the learners discover
the use of these tools in measuring an object. Then, have a review on the concepts
of length, width, height and weight.
Demonstrate how the tools will be used to measure by lining up the end of an
object with end of the tool and identifying the nearest inch as the length, width, and
height. Explain that the scale is used to find the weight of an object.
Developmental Activities Activity
Set-up two stations for students to practice measuring the length, width, height and
weight of different objects.
A. Station 1- Place several classroom objects and the ruler, tape measure, and
yardstick at the station. Using the measuring objects, ask learners to give examples
of length, width and height of objects. Have students take turns using the measuring
tools to find the length, width and height of each object.
Developmental Activities Have learners record their measurements in “Chart 1 Measuring the Length, Width,
and Height of Objects.” Assist them if necessary. Then have them compare and
discuss measurements using terms like greater than, less than, longer, and shorter.
Looking at the result of their measurement, ask the learners to demonstrate about
conversion between units (12 cubes=1 ruler; 3 rulers=1 yardstick.
B. Station 2- Place several classroom objects and a weighing scale at the station.
Have learners take turns weighing each object.
Ask learners to record their measurements in “Chart 2 Measuring the Weight of
Objects.” Then have them compare and discuss measurements using terms like
greater than, less than, heavier and lighter.
Generalizations 1. Why are standard measurements important to people? Help learners come up
with ideas similar to the one below and discuss what do they mean.
“Measurement rules our lives. It has sliced up our world and helped us impose order
and logic on our restless universe.”
2. How will the world be like with no measurements? Then discuss how engineers,
sailors, scientists used measurements.
Applications 1. Give some situations why accurate measurements are critical in our daily life.
What would be the disadvantages of using non-standard units of measurements?

IV. Assessment Split the learners into groups of 2-3 and let them go outside the classroom. Tell the
groups to find the length, width, and height of three (3) large objects. They can find
the length and width of the nursery house, the perimeter of the playground, the
length and height of one slide. Ask them also to find three (3) other objects and
measure their weight.
 Each group should record the measurements (in standard inches) in the Chart and
report to the whole class. Use the following three-point rubric to evaluate the
learners’ work.
