=Comparing and Measuring=


 * Subject:** Mathematics; Geometry


 * Grade Level:** Kindergarten


 * Standards:**
 * MA.K.G.3:** Order objects by measurable attributes
 * MA.K.G.3.1:** Compare and order objects indirectly or directly using measurable attributes such as length, height , and weight


 * Objective: ** Students will demonstrate their knowledge of measurment by estimating which object they believe weighs more, is longer or shorter, and explain their reasoning


 * Overview: ** Students will learn the difference in the size and measurement of objects and complete various activies to reinforce it


 * Materials: **
 * Balancing scale
 * Ruler
 * Objects to compare sizes
 * Objects to measure
 * Computer


 * Procedures: **
 * 1) First, teach students how to read a scale. Which ever side of the scale is lower weighs more, the side that is heigher is less
 * 2) Weigh various objects that weigh different amounts
 * 3) Explain to the class what a ruler is and how to read it
 * 4) Using the inches side measuere several objects
 * 5) Ask the class which one they think is the larger one
 * 6) Compare the sizes


 * Activities: **
 * 1) Brain Pop Jr. Game
 * 2) Tallest to Shortest


 * Evaluation:** Are the students able to recognize the difference beteween heavier and lighter objects? Are they able to see which student is the tallest in class and which is the shortest in class? Did they sucessfully create a bar graph with results from the lesson? Did it look like they enjoyed the lesson?
