7e. Understanding Measurement

The Big Cricket Match: A very big and important day is coming. There is a big cricket match between Poku and Doku’s friends and the kids of the neighbouring colony. Our smart Doku has been selected as the umpire for this match. He not only needs to keep the score, but he also needs to prepare the ground. Doku has two problems. He doesn’t know how to measure things, and he doesn’t have such a huge measuring tape. Poku explained him that one doesn’t always need a measuring tape to measure things. It can be done in many ways. Doku is not convinced but Poku is confident that he can teach him before the big day. First, he has asked Doku to bring his toy train and toy car. Now he has asked Doku to measure the longer toy with the help of the shorter one. Since Doku already knows the difference between the longer and the shorter, do you think he can complete Poku’s task?

Take the toy car from the top and place it on the wheels of the toy train to measure the length of the train.

Measuring Tape, My Foot! After correctly measuring the toy train, now Poku has asked Doku to measure the length of their cycles. And this time Doku will measure them with his own foot. Let’s see how.

Take the foot from the top left corner and place it at the bottom of the cycles to measure them.

Clean your Shelf! Doku was playing with his flute. At this, Poku got a great idea to train Doku as well as get some work done from him. He has asked Doku to use his flute and measure the length of his toy shelf. This way Doku can easily find out how many toys he can keep on the shelf. Let’s help Doku measure the shelf as all his toys are jumping with excitement and waiting to sit on the shelf!

Take the flute from the bottom and place it on the shelf to measure it.
