STEP 4

Click on the link to the padlet below to give your group responses on what you discussed, also by proving a picture of your example.

*For example think about how measurement units are used in your daily life.  For example,  kilometers (km)  are used when measuring two places or points in other words seeing the distance between one end to another end. This is normally used to measure long distances

Complete the group assessment below in the padlet.Also make sure that your name is on top so that marks can be allocated.

EXCELLENT
Picture provided  Picture not creative, simple image Picture is somewhat creative The picture is creative acceptable  Picture is very creative, note taking is perfect
Real world explanation of measurements applying to a specific unit Contains a lot of incorrect information  Contains few incorrect  information, note taking is acceptable Explanation has everything that's necessary  Contains outstanding information 
Group work  Can not work as a team members are lazy Group is almost good but one or two members do all the work Members work quite well in a team. Almost  everyone does their part Group can communicate well, everyone plays their part
