Explore

Exploration 1
We can use a tape measure to get the circumference of the
can. (illustrate a tape measure being wrap around the can. The tape measure
shows 200 cm.)
24. Wrap the tape measure once around the can. Then read the mark that touches the
end of the tape.
25. How long is the circumference of the can?
26. The circumference of the cans top is how far a can opener turns in opening the
can.
27.

Exploration 2 Do you still have another method of measuring


circumference even without the use of a tape measure?
28. Here is another method to measure the circumference of a circle:
1. Get a string and wrap around the circumference of a circular object once. (illustrate a
string that is being wrapped around the circumference of a can.)

2. Cut the string that is wrapped around the circumference of object.


3. Measure the length of the strip using a ruler or a meter stick. (illustrate a string that is
being laid down beside a ruler. Highlight he mark in the ruler that reads 200 cm)

Which method and measuring tools will you use to measure the circumference of
circular objects? Why? Do you have another method to measure circumference? Discuss
these questions with your seatmates.

Here are the ideas you have learned in this lesson:


1. Some measuring tools that we use to measure circumference are tape measure,
ruler or meter stick.
2. To measure the circumference using a tape measure:
a. Wrap the tape measure once around the can.
