IDEAS OF MAKING MATH LESSON FUN AND INTERESTING
METRIC UNITS OF LENGTH
Grade 4
Things students will need:
a) A4 sheet of papers
b) measuring tapes
c) scissors
d) worksheet
e) pen
Results:
a) students had fun
b) students were moving around instead of sitting
c) students learned to measure and to convert the units of length
d) students learned how to find the average

d) students learned how to find the average
Lesson plan:
At the beginning of a lesson teacher gives students a peace of A4 paper and asks them to fold a paper plane for themselves.
After that they make pairs (teams) and start to fly their planes in turns. They compeat at each other.
It`s important that each pair measures their result themselves and writes it down. Then students can really see what the meter or two means.
After three rounds it`s time for a summary. Teacher explains how to find the average and each team calculates it.

Lesson plan:
At the beginning of a lesson students make pairs (teams) and teacher gives them a worksheet that they can fill with their mate.
Then teacher has previously put on the table one bag of sugar (one kilo), a bar of chocolate (100 g), a pack of of milk (1 liter), a glass of water (200 ml) so that students can see and touch what they are learning in math.
