    This document provides information and examples about measuring and comparing different attributes such as length, height, thickness, weight, and capacity. It discusses using both non-standard units like handspans and standard units like meters to measure length. Students are asked questions to practice comparing attributes and ordering objects based on increasing or decreasing size. Measurement concepts taught include longer/shorter, tallest/shortest, thicker/thinner, heavier/lighter, and holds more/less.

    MATHEMATICS : CHAPTER -7 MEASUREMENT
    We measure things to know how heavy, long, tall etc. they are. There are many ways to measure
    things.
    When we talk of size, we use big and small. For e.g. Lion is big but mouse is small.
    When we talk of length of object, we use the term long and short. For e.g. Ruler is long but eraser
    is short.
    Let’s learn more about them.

    Longer / Shorter

    Shorter Longer

    Write longer or shorter.

    a.

    b.

    Longest / Shortest

    Longest Shortest
    Circle the longest object in each row.

    a.

    b.

    Number these leaves ( 1,2,3,4 ) respectively in increasing order of their length.

    a.

    b.

    Taller / Shorter

    Tall is a vertical measure; it generally means how far away the bottom of an object is from the top
    of that object. For e.g. a plant is short but a tree is tall.

    Shorter Taller
    Tallest/ Shortest

    Shortest Tallest
    Arrange the following in decreasing order of their height. One has done for you.

    a.

    4 1 3 2

    b.

    c.

    Thicker/ Thinner

    When we talk of Thick it means broad or bulky things while Thin can be describe something that
    is narrow and slender. For e.g. a needle is thin but a skipping rope is thick.

    Thinner Thicker
    Write the thinner or thicker.

    Thickest/ Thinnest

    Thickest Thinnest

    Tick the thinnest.

    Length
    Measuring Length using Body parts ( Non Standard Unit)
    We can use our body parts to measure lengths.

    handspan footspan cubit arm length

    Look at the given examples.


    Measurement by following:

    hands span footspan cubit arm length


    Measure the following using body parts.

    a) My notebook is _______________ handspan long.


    b) My skipping rope is ____________ footspan long.
    c) My study table is ________________ cubit long.
    d) My bed is _____________ arms long.
    e) My pencil is _____________handspan long.

    Standard (Bigger) unit for measuring length is Metre (m).

    NOT FOR EXAMINATION PURPOSE (Only for knowledge)


    Bigger unit for measuring length is Kilometre (km).

    1 km = 1000 m

    The distances like distance between Delhi and Haridwar are measured in kilometre
    (km)whereas the length of the door or window is measured in metre (m).

    Measure the length of each pencil in centimetre (cm) and write in the box.
    Weight

    Look at the pictures and read the sentences.

    An elephant is Heavy. A rabbit is light.

    We can also write these sentences as follows:

     An elephant is HEAVIER than a rabbit.


     A rabbit is LIGHTER than an elephant.

    Look At some more example.

    A pumpkin is HEAVY. A feather is LIGHT.

     A pumpkin is HEAVIER than a feather.


     A feather is LIGHTER than a pumpkin.

    Write the Heavier or Lighter in each set.

    a. b.

    Heaviest / Lightest

    Heaviest Lightest

    Number these baskets ( 1,2,3,4) in decreasing order of their weight.

    1
    Standard ( Bigger) Unit for measuring weight is Kilogram (kg).

    NOT FOR EXAMINATION PURPOSE (Only for knowledge)


    Bigger unit for measuring weight is Kilogram (kg).

    1 kg = 1000 g

    The weight of a watermelon is measured in kilogram (kg) whereas the weight of an


    apple is measured in gram ( g).
    Capacity

    Capacity is the amount any object can hold.

    A jug can hold 8 glasses of water.

    We can also write it as follows:

     A jug holds more water than a glass.


     A glass holds less water than a jug.

    Look at another example.

    A Kettle can hold 5 cups of tea.


     A kettle holds more water than a cup.
     A cup holds less water than a kettle.
    In each set circle the object that can hold more.

    a. b.
    Number these containers (1,2,3,4) in increasing order of their capacities.

    a.

    b.

    Standard ( Bigger ) Unit for measuring capacity is litre (l).

    NOT FOR EXAMINATION PURPOSE (Only for knowledge)


    Bigger unit for measuring capacity is litre ( l ).

    1 l = 1000 millilitre ( ml )

    The capacity of a water tank is measured in litre ( l ) whereas the capacity of a spoon is
    measured in millilitre ( ml).
