21 Unit I Measuring Length 21 Estimating Length Using References Goals Review Reading Imperial Tape Measurement What is a Referent? Using References to Estimate Length in Imperial Measurements Review Reading an actual imperial measurement 1. Ans: 2. Ans: 3. Ans:

22 Unit I Measuring Length 22 Using referents for imperial units Unit Inch (in.) Foot (ft.) Yard (yd.) Mile (mi.) Referent Thumb Length Foot Length Arm span Distance walked in 20 minutes Note: The distance between the tip of the thumb to the knuckle is approximately 1 inch. This is called a referent measurement. The thumb length, foot length, and arm span are referents. Each referent is an approximate measure for an imperial unit.

23 Unit I Measuring Length 23 Classroom Activity Using References to Approximate Length Example 1 Estimating Lengths Using Imperial Units Describe how you would estimate the width (across) your desk. Solution The most appropriate imperial unit is the inch. Use the width of your hand as a referent. It is about 4 in. across. Line up one hand with one edge of the desk. Count how many times you place your hands, one next to the other, to go from one edge of the desk to the other. Multiply the number of hands by 4, to get the approximate width of the desk in inches. Item Referent Estimated Measurement Actual Measurement Desk Width of hand 4 Use a tape to determine the actual measurement. Using Referents to Estimate Length (i) (ii) Get in groups (3 to 4) where you will have items to measure using the referent measurement indicated to determine an estimated length. Use the measuring device (ruler or tape) to determine the actual length of that item.

24 Unit I Measuring Length 24 Item 1 Length of Pencil Determine how many thumb lengths to measure from one end of the pencil to the other to attain an estimated measure then use the ruler or tape to determine the actual measure. Item Referent Estimated Measurement Actual Measurement Pencil Thumb (Tip to first joint) 1 Item 2 Length of course textbook Determine how many hand widths to measure from one end of the cover to the other end of the cover along the longest edge. Then use the ruler or tape to determine the actual measure. Item Referent Estimated Measurement Actual Measurement Textbook Width of hand 4

25 Unit I Measuring Length 25 Item 3 Length of a floor tile Use the length of your foot to determine the length of one floor tile to attain an estimated measure then use the ruler or tape to determine the actual measure. Item Referent Estimated Measurement Actual Measurement Floor Tile Foot (Back of heel to toe) 1 foot Item 4 Width of the classroom Hold a piece of string from your nose to the longest finger of an outstretched arm. Have your partner cut the string to this length. Use this string to estimate then record the width of the classroom, in arm spans to calculate the estimated measurement. Then use the tape to determine the actual measure. Item Referent Estimated Measurement Actual Measurement Width of Classroom Arm span 3 ft. QUESTION: Why is it necessary to have standardized measurements for length instead of using referents as a means to measuring?
