meeting?

Very good!

To check your understanding

let us have a short quiz. Get
your quiz notebook. 1. 2 weeks
2. 90 days
1. 14 days = _____ weeks 3. 730 days
2. 3 months = ____ days
3. 2 years (no leap year)
= _____ days
Possible Answers
B. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
Class, if you are to measure the Tape measure: 100 cm
length of the table using tape Meter stick: 1 m
measure, meter stick, how long
will that be?

Very good!

C. Discussion
I have here a situation.
Mark and Rizza measured the
length of the teacher's table.
Mark found that it to be 1 meter
long, while Rizza claimed that it
is 100 cm. Whose measurement
is correct? Why?
Mark and Rizza
Who measured the length of the
teachers table?
1 meter
How long is the table according
to mark?

How long is the table according 100 centimeters

to Rizza?
Whose measurement is correct? Both measurements are correct.

Therefore, 1 meter is equal to

100 centimeters or vice- versa.
Group Activity
The class will be divided into
four groups. Each group will be
given an envelope. Inside the
envelope is an activity sheet and
read the instructions carefully.
You will put your answers in the
manila paper .You will be given
10 minutes to complete the task.
Two reporters will stand in front
and read your work.

To have an organized activity I

have here the rules in doing your
group activity.
Remember the acronym
G.R.O.U.P G- get along
R- respect others
O- on task
U- use soft voices
P- participate
Directions: In groups, measure
the length of the given objects
using meter stick or tape
measure.

Group 1 and 3
Objects Measure in Group 1 and 3
Centimeters Objects Measure in
1. Yarn Centimeters
2. Stick 1. Yarn 300
3. Thread 2. Stick 100
3. Thread 400
Group 2 and 4
Objects Measure in Group 2 and 4
Meters Objects Measure in
1. Yarn Meters
2. Stick 1. Yarn 3
3. Thread 2. Stick 1
3. Thread 4
Post and Reporting
Let us give GOOD JOB clap to
all the reporters.

What are the units of measure

that you use in measuring the Meter/ m
objects? Centimeters/ cm

How long is the yarn in

centimeters? In meters? In centimeters it measures 300 cm.
In meters it measures 3 cm.
If 3 meters is already given as
the length of the rope, how can
 we get its length in centimeters? Multiply 3 by 100; 3 x 100 = 300 cm

Very good!

In thread, how can we change

400 centimeters to meters?

Let us try this. Divide 400 by 100; 400 100 = 4 m

How many centimeters are there
in 2 meters? 10 meters?

What is of a meter? 2 x 100 = 200 cm

10 x 00 = 1000 cm

1 meter = 100 centimeters

x 100 cm
Which is longer? 600 cm or 3 m?
300 cm/4
Why?
=75 cm

Method 1
Convert 600 cm to m
600 100 = 6 m
D. Generalization
How is meter converted to
Method 2
centimeter?
Convert 3 m to cm
How is centimeter converted to 3 x 100 = 300 cm
meter?
To convert meter to centimeter, multiply
E. Application the number of meters by 100.
Convert the following.
1. 5 meter = ____ centimeter To convert centimeter to meter, divide
2. 300 cm = ____ m the number of centimeter by 100.
3. m = _____ cm

IV. Evaluation
Write >, <, or = in the box to complete the statement.
1. 7 m 300 cm + 400 cm
2. 600 cm 200 cm 10 cm
3. 5m + 6m 20,000 cm
4. 1,100 cm 900 cm 2m

V. Measure the length of the following objects found in your home: height of
the door, length of the television and width of the table. Record your
measures in centimeter and meters.
