Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics (Grade 1)
I. Objectives
a. Content Standards: The learner demonstrates understanding of measurement of
length and distance using non-standard units.
b. Performance Standards: The learner is able to apply measurement of length and
distance using non-standard units in daily life situations.
c. Learning Competency: Measure the length of an object and the distance between two
objects using non-standard units; compare lengths and distances using non-standard
units; solve problems involving lengths and distances using non-standard units.
II. Content
Measurement of length and distance using non-standard units (e.g., paper clips, blocks,
hand span, foot span).
III. Learning Resources
• Manila paper / cartolina
• Pictures/real objects (pencil, book, table, chair)
• Non-standard units (paper clips, bottle caps, blocks, popsicle sticks, hand span, foot
span)
• Flashcards with images for activity
• PowerPoint slides with sample pictures (if technology is available)
IV. Procedures
a. Reviewing previous lesson: Teacher: "Do you still remember what we learned
yesterday?" Children: "Yes, Teacher! We learned about big and small objects."
b. Establishing a purpose: Teacher: "Why do you think it is important to measure
things?" Children: "So we know how long or short something is!"
c. Presenting examples: (Show a picture of a pencil and paper clips) Teacher: "Here is a
pencil. How can we find out how long it is without a ruler?" Children: "We can use paper
clips!"
d. Formative Assessment #1: Activity: Measure pencil using paper clips. Answer: "5
paper clips long."
e. Formative Assessment #2: Activity: Measure book using hand span. Answer: "2 hand
spans."
f. Formative Assessment #3: Activity: Compare distance of chairs using footsteps.
Answer: "The blue chair is farther."
g. Practical Applications: "At home, how can you use measuring without a ruler?"
Children: "We can measure the table using our hands!"
h. Generalization: Children: "We learned how to measure using paper clips, hands, and
footsteps."
i. Evaluation: Questions about measuring spoon, notebook, crayon vs pencil.
j. Additional Activities: Assignment: Measure a toy using paper clips or blocks and draw
it.
V. Remarks
Learners enjoyed hands-on activities. Some needed guidance in aligning paper clips
properly.
VI. Reflection
Did the learners meet the objectives? Yes. Which part worked well? The footsteps activity.
Difficulties? Some struggled with alignment. Solution: Provide more practice.
