Scaffold learners to measure different length and spaces in the classroom and outside the classroom. In small groups, have learners use non-standardised tools such as their feet, rope or thread to measure the length of their tables, their classroom, distance of their classroom to the headteacher's office, the football park, distance from school to their homes and finally measuring the distance from present place to their hometown on a big map of Ghana, Give them rulers to measure some spaces and compare the length using phrases like longer than, shorter than. Engage learners actively in the measurement exercise adding and estimating. Have ground rules as to how to do the task.
