2. Lesson 8.1.1 Measurement Precision
- Essential Question: What is the length of the tennis court?
- We will use 2 different tools to try to answer this question: a 12-inch ruler, and a measuring tape.
- Discuss these questions in your team:
- Will you get the same measurement with each tool?
- Why might the measures be different? Should they be the same?
- Which tool do you think will give the more precise measurement, that is the one that is closer to the true measurement of the tennis court?
- Partner up (within your teams)
- Field trip to the tennis courts- bring notebook and pencil for recording measurements
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
