Comparing Length: Centimeters

Select one task to complete.

Task One Part One:  Graphic Organizer

Direction:  Use a five column chart to complete the comparison length problem.  In the first column, draw and label Angle A, and write the total length of Angle A in centimeters.  In the second column, draw and label Angle B, and write the total length of Angle B in centimeters.   In column three, write which angle is longer.  In column four, write how much longer the longest angle is in centimeters.  In column five, write how much shorter the shortest angle is in centimeters.

Task One Part Two: 

Direction: Write and solve one comparing length problem.  Use the template to fill in the blanks to write your own comparing length problem.  

1.  _______________  (name) drew two angles on his/her paper.  Use an inch ruler to draw Angle A and Angle B.

 The first part of the Angle A was _________centimeters long.  The second part of the Angle A was _________ centimeters long.  How long was Angle A altogether?

 The first part of Angle B was ________centimeters long.  The second part of Angle B was  _________ centimeters long.  How long was Angle B altogether?

Which angle is longer in centimeters?  

Angle A             Angle B

How much longer is the longest angle in centimeters?

How much shorter is the shortest angle in centimeters?               

Task Two Part One: Use a five column chart to complete the comparison length problem.  In the first column, draw and label Angle A, and write the total length of Angle A in centimeters.  In the second column, draw and label Angle B, and write the total length of Angle B in centimeters.   In column three, write which angle is longer.  In column four, write how much longer the longest angle is in centimeters.  In column five, write how much shorter the shortest angle is in centimeters.

Direction:  Task Two Part Two: 

1.  Frankie wrote a math problem about two ants.  Use an centimeter ruler to draw and measure Angle A and Angle B.

The first ant walked on angle A.  The first part of the Angle A was 8 centimeters long.  The second part of Angle A was 6 centimeters long.  How long was Angle A altogether?

The second ant walked on Angle B.  The first part of Angle B was 7 centimeters long.  The second part of Angle B was 4 centimeters long.  How long was Angle B altogether?

Which angel is longer in centimeters?  

Angle A             Angle B

How much longer is the longest angle in centimeters?  Which ant walked the farthest distance?
