Measurement

This pack is designed to help students who are finding their current module (on
Measurement) too difficult.

The pack brings together sheets from several Cuemath modules that teach
measurement. These sheets are marked by year and have been carefully chosen
to give the student a chance to experience measurement the Cuemath way and
prepare them to tackle their current module.

Here’s how we suggest you use this pack.

Refer to the table at the back.

• Choose the set of worksheets that teaches the ideas of the previous year. (e.g.
if your student is in Year 4, ask them to solve the set marked Year 3.)

• If the student is able to solve these sheets comfortably, ask them to return to
the module they were working on.

• If the student finds the set too difficult, ask them to move to the set marked
one year lower. (In this case, S8–S14, marked Year 2.)

There are notes on some sheets within this pack. We encourage you to refer to
them.

Note to the teacher: Given below are a few questions and instructions. (The instructions are in
italics and within brackets). They are meant only to guide you. Please feel free to ask the student
other relevant questions during the conversation.

A measurement by handspan could vary from person to person, hence handspan is not a standard unit
of measurement. We expect the student to understand the measurement of an object with reference
to another object.

1.  (Explain handspan to the student. A picture is given below for your reference.)

2.  (From the Fraction strips, pick one whole strip and a 1 strip.)
3
3. How many handspans long is the smaller strip? (Do not mention the fractional value of the strip. Refer
to it as ‘the smaller strip’.)

4. How many handspans long is the larger strip?

5. By how many handspans is the larger strip bigger than the smaller strip?

6.  (Pick a few more strips and continue till the student becomes familiar with measure by handspan.)
