===Learning objectives===
# The students learn that mensuration is the branch of Mathematics dealing with measurement of angles, length, area, and volume.
# They should understand the need for measuring objects.
# They should have a clear distinction of different measuring/calculating parameters
# They should understand the characteristics of different figures.
# The length of the total boundary of a figure is called its perimeter. The Metric unit of perimeter is same as the unit of length - Metre.
# The perimeter of 2D geometrical figures like quadrilaterals can be obtained by calculating the sum of all the sides of the figure.
# The amount of surface covered by an object is called it area. The Metric unit of area is square metre.
# The capacity of an object to hold is called its volume.
# Develop an appreciation towards derivation of formula for calculations.
# They should develop the ability to calculate the area, perimeter, volume or side of many different figures.
