− | # Let the students measure different ingredients using suitable measuring instruments and record their observations in a tabular form. | + | # This activity can be done in groups by grouping 3 students in each group. |
| + | # The students should measure distances of library, dinning hall, principal's room, entrance gate, playground etc from their class room using a measuring tape in metres. |
| + | # The teacher can mark reference points for each and explain to the students. |
| + | # The students should accurately measure and note down. |
| + | # After coming to the classroom let the teacher tabulate all distances on the blackboard. |
| + | # Next ask the students to represent their observation of distances by drawing their school model on paper. |
| + | # Ask them how will they go about it so that the distances are represented proportionately. |
| + | # The teacher can then elicit from the students that a proper equivalent unit has to be used for the purpose. |
| + | # Ater this activity she can spell out the term scale and discuss about the blue print of ahouse, mapping, model constructions and so on. |
