MATHEMATICS
GRADE 4
Hallo buddies. Here are a few steps to
show you how to make use of the
lessons.
Step 1: Look at the videos in the example.
Step 2: Do an exercise every day until you have
worked through all the days.
Step 3: Then do the informal exercise on the
last day to see if you understand the
work.
Step 4: At the end of each exercise you can mark your
work and see if you understand the work.
People need to agree on how big
things should be, such as homes, roads
and other things needed.
Otherwise there is big
trouble!
Day 1: Compare and measure lengths
Example: Who is the tallest? (Look at the video)
Meet Senzo and Temba. They are cousins and stay
in the same house.
Senzo Themba
Today they must
measure the
following, but not
one of them have a
ruler.
The distance from the top of the
right ear, over the head to the top
of the left ear.
2. The length of their
right foot.
3. The width of their left hand
span.
4. .
They must estimate
the answer before
they can measure it.
Senzo measure with a string.
His string is 3 matchstick long.
1. The distance over his head from ear
to ear is _________
2. The length of his right foot is
_______
3. The width of his left hand span
is_____
Senzo
Themba Themba measures with a matchstick.
1. The distance over his head from ear to
ear is______________
2. The length of his right foot is ____
__________________
3. The width of his left hand span
is ______________
Exercises: Do the following exercise in your notebook.
1. Think of Senzo and Themba’s story.
(a) Is there another way you would do the homework if you did not have a ruler?
Name it.
(b) Where could Senzo perhaps make a mistake with his measurement?
(c) Where could Themba perhaps make a mistake with his measurement?
(d) Which body part of Senzo is the longest?
(e) Which body part of Themba is the longest?
(f) Which body part, both measured, is the shortest?
(g) Which one would you use to measure the table top? The hand span or foot?
(h) Which one would you use to measure the length of the kitchen? The hand span
or foot?
(i) Will Senzo and Themba get the same answers if each of them measures the
table top and the length of the kitchen? Explain why.
(j) Which one would you use to measure the line below:
The matchstick or the string? Why?
(k) How many matchsticks do you estimate is the line? (Use Themba’s matchstick
as a measuring unit)
2. Which one of the following pairs is the longest? You can estimate the answer.
(a) The height of the front door of your home or the height of the table.
(b) The length of the netball court or the length of the rugby field?
(c) Your height or your teacher’s height?
(d) The length of the stoep or the width of the stoep in front of your class?
Day 1: Memorandum / Answers. Mark your work
1. Think about Senzo and Themba’s story.
a) Is there another way you would do the homework if you did not have a ruler? Name it.
Yes,
With a match box,
A piece of carton,
A new eraser,
A pritt stick.
b) Where could Senzo perhaps make a mistake with his measurement?
By not pulling the string tight every time, or
By not putting the one end of the string close to the other end of the string whilst
measuring.
He had to remember that the 3 matchsticks are long and that he had to count in
threes.
c) Where could Themba perhaps make a mistake with his measurement?
He did not put the matchsticks close together.
He did not make a mark at the end of the matchstick before picking it up every
time.
d) Which body part of Senzo is the longest?
The distance over his head from ear to ear.
e) Which body part of Themba is the longest?
The distance over his head from ear to ear.
f) Which body part, both measured, is the shortest?
The hand span
g) Which one would you use to measure the table top? The hand span or foot?
The hand span
h) Which one would you use to measure the length of the kitchen? The hand span or foot?
The foot
i) Will Senzo and Themba get the same answers if each of them measures the table top
and the length of the kitchen? Explain why.
No, the size of their hands and feet differs, or
Yes, the size of their hands and feet are the same.
j) Which one would you use to measure the line below?
The matchstick or the string? Why?
The string
The string is flexible. It will measure all the twists.
The matchstick is straight. It cannot measure twists easily.
k) How many matches do you estimate is the line? (Use Temba’s matchstick as a measuring
unit)
At least 5 matchsticks.
2. Which of the following pairs is the longest? You can estimate the answer.

The length of the stoep
Day 2: Standard units of measurement
Introduction: (Look at video 2 – Standard unit of measurement)
The units that many people around the world use
are called standard units
This system is called the System of International Units (SI)
Here are some of the instruments used.
(a) A ruler
(b) Tape Measures
The standard unit of length is
(a) Centimetre (cm)
100cm – 1 metre (m)
Centi means hundredth
(b) Millimetre (mm)
1 000 mm = 1 metre (m)
Milli means thousandth
(c) Kilometre
1 000 m = 1 km
Kilo means thousand
In many parts of the world today, people use the
same unit to measure. Senzo, Themba and their friends will tell us more.

Day 3: Length in different units
Introduction:
There is 10 millimetre in 1 centimetre.
There is 100 centimetre in 1 metre.
There is 1000 metre in 1 kilometre.
Buddies, do you think that we can
measure everything in centimetre?
Definitely not. Today, Travis and
Imraan will tell us more.
You already know the
following.
1 cm
10 mm
100 cm
x 1000 metre sticks = 1 000 m = 1 km
Today, we are going to write:
Millimetre units as centimetre units.
Centimetre units as millimeter units.
Metre units as kilometre units.
Kilometre units as metre units.
Example: Look at the ruler below:
1. 10 mm = 1 cm. That is why
20 mm = 2 cm, and
30 mm = 3 cm.
What do you do with
5 mm?
15 mm?
25 mm?
2. 100 cm = 1m. That is why
200 cm = 2 m, and
300 cm = 3 m.
What do you do with: 50 cm?
150 cm?
250 cm?
3. 1 000 m = 1 km. That is why
2 000 m = 2 km, and
3 000 m = 3 km.
What do you do with:
500 m?
1 500 m?
2 500 m?

Beautiful! You are so hard-working.
Day 4: Rounding Off of Lengths
Introduction
Buddies, you probably heard of rounding off. By now you know that it is estimation.
Rounding off of lengths are done in the same way as
whole numbers.
In rounding off to the nearest 10, we are working with
multiples of 10.
In rounding off to the nearest 100, we are working
with multiples of 100.
In rounding off to the nearest 1 000, we are working
with multiples of 1 000.
Example:
37cm rounded off to the nearest (multiple of) 10
How far must Franny Frog jump from 37?
The ten that we hear and see, is 30. 40 is the next 10.
Is it closer to 30 than it is to 40?
35 is in the middle of 30 and 40.
The distance from 37 to 40 is shorter.
Thus: 37 rounded off to the nearest 10 is 40.
37cm ≈ 40cm (We read it as: 37 approximately rounded off is equal to 40)
Middle
Inlei
ding
145 km rounded off to the nearest 100.
How far must Tyler drive to the nearest petrol station?
Is it closer to 100 than to 200?
150 is in the middle of 100 and 200.
145 is before 150.
145 is thus closer to 100
145km ≈ 100km (We read it as: 145 approximately rounded off is equal to
100)
145
Middle
2 630 mm ronded off to the nearest1 000.
We hear and see 2 000 in the number. 3000 is the next thousand.
We find 2 630 between 2 000 and 3 000.
Which thousand is closer to 2 630?
Find the middle between 2 000 and 3 000. It is 2 500.
We find 2 630 after 2 500.
2 630 is closer to 3 000.
Thus: 2 630 ≈ 3 000
We read it as: 2 630 approximately rounded off is equal to 3 000
Middle
2 630
