Measuring Length

Learning Objective :
9
To enhance the knowledge of measuring length.
What You Need :

• Deck of cards • Ruler

• Table • Paper

• Pencil
Procedure : 9

Step 1 : Select a table to use for the game.

Step 2 : Decide which player will keep score and give the scorekeeper a paper

and a pencil.
Step 3 : Divide the deck of cards evenly among the players.

Step 4 : Players take a turn sliding a card along the table.

The goal is to slide the card so that it is as close as possible to the edge

of the table.

Step 5 : Players should use a ruler to measure how far their cards are from the
edge of the table and then tell the scorekeeper their measurement. Use

either centimetres or inches, but be consistent.

If a card falls off of the table it incurs a 20 unit (centimetres or inches)
penalty, as its distance from the edge of the table cannot be easily

measured.

Step 6 : Play for as many rounds as you would like.

Step 7 : At the end of game, have each player add up their measurements to find

their total measurements. The player with smallest collective
measurement wins the game.

Who is the winner ? _________________________________
