IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing Previous Lesson or Warm - Up Activity: Measuring Ourselves
Presenting New Lesson Using your own body, determine:
1. How many hands tall are you?
2. How many finger – widths tall is your head?
3. How many finger – widths is it from your elbow to the tip of your
finger?
4. Compare your result with your pair.
B. Establishing a Purpose for the Lesson During the ancient times, an Egyptian carpenter never misplaced his ruler
because it was attached to his body.

Question:
Why do you think they never missed their ruler? Do you have any idea?
C. Presenting Examples/ Instances of the Body Parts as Measurement
Lesson 1. A span is the distance from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the
thumb of an outstretched hand.
2. A palm is the distance across the base of the four fingers that form
the palm.
3. A digit is the thickness or width of the index finger.
4. A foot is the length of a foot.
5. A cubit is the distance from the tip of the middle finger of the
outstretched hand to the front of the elbow.
D. Or Discussing New Concepts and History of Measurement
Practicing New Skills #1 One of the earliest tools that human beings invented was the unit of
measurement. In olden times, people needed measurement to determine how
long or wide things are; things they needed to build their houses or make their
clothes. Later, units of measurement were used in trade and commerce. In the
3rd century BC Egypt, people used their body parts to determine
measurements of things; the same body parts that you used to measure the
assigned things to you.
The forearm length, as described in the table below, was called a cubit. The
handspan was considered a half cubit while the palm was considered 1/6 of a
cubit. Go ahead, check out how many handspans your forearm length is. The
Egyptians came up with these units to be more accurate in measuring
 different lengths.
However, using these units of measurement had a disadvantage. Not everyone
had the same forearm length. Discrepancies arose when the people started
comparing their measurements to one another because measurements of the
same thing differed, depending on who was measuring it. Because of this,
these units of measurement are called non-standard units of measurement
which later on evolved into what is now the inch, foot and yard, basic units of
length in the English system of measurement.
They are the basic units of length of the English System of Measurement,
which also includes units for mass, volume, time, temperature and angle.
Since the inch and foot are both units of length, each can be converted into
the other. Here are the conversion factors, as you may recall from previous
lessons:
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
For long distances, the mile is used:
1 mile = 1,760 yards = 5,280 feet
For example:
1. Convert 36 inches into feet
1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡
36 inches x = 3 feet
12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠
2. Convert 2 miles into inches
5280 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡 12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠
2 miles x x = 126720 inches
1 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒 1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡
E. Discussing New Concepts and The Metric System of Measurement is easier to use than the English System
Practicing New Skills #2 of Measurement since its conversion factors would consistently be in the
decimal system, unlike the English System of Measurement where units of
lengths have different conversion factors. Check out the units used in your
steep tape measure, most likely they are inches and centimeters. The base unit
for length is the meter and units longer or shorter than the meter would be
achieved by adding prefixes to the base unit. These prefixes may also be used
for the base units for mass, volume, time and other measurements. Here are
the common prefixes used in the Metric System:
PREFIX SYMBOL FACTOR
tera T x 1,000,000,000,000
giga G x 1,000,000,000
mega M x 1,000,000
kilo k x 1,000
hecto h x 100
deka da x 10
deci d x 1/10
centi c x 1/100
milli m x 1/1,000
micro μ x 1/1,000,000
nano n x 1/1,000,000,000
For example:
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
1 millimeter = 1/1,000 meter or 1,000 millimeters = 1 meter

The following are common conversion factors for length:

1 inch = 2.54 cm
3.28 feet ≈ 1 meter
F. Developing Mastery Exercise
(Leads to Formative Assessment) Convert the following lengths into the desired unit:
1. Convert 30 inches to feet
2. Convert 130 yards to inches
3. Convert 8 inches to cm
4. Convert 33 meter to cm
5. Convert 15 cm to feet
G. Finding Practical Application of Sarah is running in a 42-mile marathon. How many more feet does Sarah
Concepts and Skills in Daily Living need to run if she has already covered 64,240 yards?
H. Making Generalization and Why do we measure?
Abstractions about the Lesson
