Decent Essays

In the article “Jump As Far As You Can”, readers are presented with an interactive lesson plan about measurement. The lesson plan starts by giving the students some background knowledge about the Olympic Games. The teacher will talk about how the Olympics has different sports and sometimes the sports are eliminated from the games. The students will be able to discuss what they know and what they have seen from the games. This will lead to the discussion about the standing jump and the different distances people can jump. The students will then be able to try a stand and jump themselves, and then measure out the distance in different measurements (i.e. cubes, feet and inches). At the end there was enrichment activities that students can participate …show more content…

The first standard that this lesson falls under is “2.MD.A.1: Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such a rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks and measuring tapes.” This framework fits with the lesson plan because the students will be measuring the distance they jumped. When the students do these measurements, they will be using rulers to measure their jumping distance. The framework states that the students need to use measuring tools to measure the length, which is why this lesson fits with this framework. The second framework standard that fits this lesson is “2.MD.A.2 Measure the length of an object twice, using length unites of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.” This fits the lesson plan because the students will be measuring their distance three different times. Each time the student measures the distance they will be using a different form of measurement (cubes, feet and inches). Because the students are doing the measurement multiple times with different forms of measurement, the standard fits the lesson plan. It is clear that both of these standards fits the lesson and has the students interacting with
