Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. Mark a learner's height on the wall and ask 4 learners to use their hands pan to measure the height. On the basis of the different measures that would be obtained, get learners to establish the need for use of standard units
E.g. 2. Estimate the measure in non-standard units, and then comparing the estimate with the actual measure. E.g. Bring two learners of different heights to the front of the class, take the height of one pupil. On the basis of that height ask a pupil to estimate the height of the other pupil and then measure the actual height to compare with their estimation
