| |
− | ==Process==
| |
− | # This activity can be done in groups by grouping 3 students in each.
| |
− | # 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.
| |
− | # After this activity she can spell out the term scale and discuss about the blue print of a house, mapping distances, atlas maps, model constructions and so on.
| |
− | # This activity can be done to introduce the students to the concept of scale drawing.
| |
− | ==Developmental Questions==
| |
− | # What did you measure ?
| |
− | # What measuring instrument did you select ? Why ?
| |
− | # What was your reading ?
| |
− | # which unit do you use ?
| |
− | ==Evaluation==
| |
− | # Were the students able to comprehend which measuring instrument should be used for particular items ?
| |
− | # Were they taking measurements accurately ?
| |
− | # Were they able to document their observations appropriately in a tabular form ?
| |
− | *Question Corner:
| |
− | # Discuss the applications of scale drawing ?
| |
− | # What is a scale factor ?
