**Lesson Breakdown:**
#### 1. Introduction (10 minutes):
- **Objective**: Introduce the concept of measurement and its importance in everyday life.
- **Activities**:
- Begin with a brief discussion on why measurement is essential. Examples: telling time to catch a bus, measuring ingredients for a recipe, and counting money to buy a toy.
- Show visual aids related to clocks, money, and measuring tools to grab students' interest.
#### 2. Teaching Time (15 minutes):
- **Objective**: Teach students to read analog and digital clocks.
- **Activities**:
- Introduce an analog clock and a digital clock.
- Demonstrate how to read the time on both clocks.
- Engage students with a game where they set the time on clock models.
- Use a worksheet with different clock faces and ask students to write the correct time.
#### 3. Understanding Money (15 minutes):
- **Objective**: Help students recognize different coins and notes and practice simple transactions.
- **Activities**:
- Display different coins and notes and explain their values.
- Conduct a “Classroom Shop” activity where students use toy money to "buy" small items.
- Use a worksheet to practice addition and subtraction with money.
#### 4. Measuring Length (15 minutes):
- **Objective**: Teach students to measure length using rulers and measuring tapes.
- **Activities**:
- Demonstrate how to use a ruler and a measuring tape.
- Engage students in a “Length Hunt” where they measure items around the classroom.
- Provide a worksheet with lines or shapes to measure and record their lengths.
#### 5. Conclusion & Recap (5 minutes):
- **Objective**: Summarize what students have learned and provide an opportunity for questions.
- **Activities**:
- Review the key points of telling time, using money, and measuring length.
- Allow students to ask any questions.
- Assign a simple homework task, such as measuring some items at home or practicing telling the time with a parent.
#### Assessment & Evaluation:
- **Formative Assessment**: Through observation during activities.
- **Summative Assessment**: Worksheets completed during class.
- **Homework/In-Class Test**: Reviewing completed homework or in-class quiz in the next class.

**Differentiation:**
- **For Advanced Students**: Offer more complex problems involving time intervals, make change with money, and measure objects using both inches and centimeters.
- **For Struggling Students**: Provide extra support with one-on-one help, use more visual aids, and simplify activities.
---
**Homework**:
- **Time**: Draw a clock with your favorite time and write the digital time next to it.
- **Money**: Draw or cut out pictures of toys from an advertisement and label their total cost using toy money.
- **Length**: Measure three household items using a ruler and write down their lengths in inches or centimeters.

**Reflection**:
Consider asking the following questions post-lesson:
1. Did the students grasp the basic concepts of measurement?
2. Were the activities engaging and effective?
3. What areas did students struggle with the most?
4. How can the lesson be improved for better understanding and engagement?

**Notes**:
- Keep the lesson interactive to maintain student engagement.
- Adjust the pace according to the class’s response and understanding.
- Use positive reinforcement to encourage participation.
