Measure for Measure! K22

What interesting measuring system you have! Did you enjoy the activity?
What system of measurement did you choose as a group?
Was it hard using the item you've chosen to measure?
What did you learn?
And how will you apply what you've learnt in Technical writing?

First i dont know why we had to choose an item to measure something and also dont know what we are going to measure,so our group decided to choose pen.But when we know that we are going to measure the room we know that it is hard to do it.Maybe we choose the wrong item and during the measurement there must some erro happen that make the measurement not so accurate..but in engineering field we must take this thing as important thing because it difficult when do not have a systematic measurement system..so this activity taught us about it right???

our group chose bus ticket as the measurement because we don't know at first what we should measure.so,after we know we get it quite hard because we must measure the room.but it is ok when we maesure the other thing that was smaller.i enjoy this activity

emm...first of all..i want to share with u all about my experience to measure all the things given...my group were using pencil.but then,we measured use belt..because we assume 7 pencils equal 1 belt long..so the belt were make our work easier than using pencils..i learn to make a work easier and at the same time do work efficiently..

now i discover the importantness of having a standard system for anything...
in commenting for our activity, luckily my group picked up the umbrella as our measurement tools..
not only it's easy to measure with, but it's easy to caculate also..
i cannot imagine if our world today uses a smaller scale then what we hav now...
imagine if 1cm is equals to 1mm..?
well,now that i know how important it is to have a standard measurement scale, i will appreciate all the efforts done to create them...

Hello madam,
for this activity, we have to choose an item to measure something. So,my group were choosing a pencil. But I don't know that we have to measured the room, our group member's height,find whose among us that have the longest nose and more.I really enjoy do this activity.
We assumed that jayjay's belt is equal to 7 pencils long.It is actually quite hard to measured using a belt.But it has teach us how to solve problems,to think creatively,and the meaning of cooperation among my group members. So, this activity taught me a lot, how to cooperate with people, how to solve problems eventhough it is quite hard to do it, and do the work given to me as perfect as I can.

For this activity, we muts choose an item to measure something. First,we don't know that we are going to maesure the room. So,we are agree to choose the mechanical pencil as an item.When we are know that we must measured the room by using the item that we are choosing, we are feel so hard. i said," ohh no!!how to measure the big room by using the pencil?? it not the easy thing.. So, we use jayjay's belt. However, we still use the pencil but we just assume that jayjay,s belt equal to 7mechanical pencils long.Ienjoy this activity a lot. In this activity, i learned that we should have the team work.

For me, this activity was quite interesting especially when we are asked to pick an object to be as a measurer cause we're not sure what we gonna do. After the activity, I learned that, it's important to have several type of measurer so that we able to measure everything at any lengths...

MEASURE FOR MEASURE...
what is this????
our lecturer asked us to think of system of measurement.At first we really don't know what to choose but luckily we have chose a right system for our group...imagine other groups use matric cards,bus ticket,pencils and etc to measure the length and width of the class...how many matric cards they need????Oh no....but our lecturer will never know that she has a group of smart engineering student which are very good in calculations..while she was out for meeting,some of us use thee other 'system' instead of the system we have chosen and do some calculations and.......done.Haha... we are so sorry that we play cheat but madam it doesnt include ur group because we have chosen a right system...
So what have i learned from ths activity???? Haha..of course we must work smart and of course thank God for those measuring system fixed so that evrything in our life become easy and standardized...and of course we enjoyed tis activity because this is one of the most relaxing subject although its quite challenging and stress up sometimes with the wiesel sound...

When it was time for us to discuss and come out with a measuring system, at one point, i was suggesting to my group members about using a key chain accessory of mine which shapes like a foot, and thankfully, ayuni gave a stern disagreement to the proposal, otherwise, i would be bearing the label of 'the fool of the day' for choosing an object that would cause an even more serious migraine than a matrix card (length of foot=length of matrix card x 3/4). At last, we have decided to go with a mechanical pencil. We have used the absence of guru to our advantage, as measuring quantities of large magnitudes with a mechanical pencil is a tedious process, making use of jj's belt and the formula of 1 belt=7 mecha pencils, everything was done with much more ease. I can't imagine the world using units like 'matrix cards', 'umbrellas', 'mecha pencils' or the dreaded 'key chain feet' to express length of objects, let's hail on physics and mathematics for having a standardised measuring system and the introduction of various suffixes like mega, giga, pico and atto to account for and enable the easy expression of quantities of varied magnitude.

This game is quite interesting as we use the bus ticket as an item to measure. The funny thing is when we were measuring the width and length of the room, it took about half and hour..After that, I was wondering how would be our life if there is no standardised measuring system.

our team choose pen as the measuring system.it is so hard 2 masure the things that teacher wanted to measure.first,we think that we will measure small thing but actually we have to measura many huge thing such as width of room and length of room.at the end of the activity,our team manage to measure all the task given.i learn that we have to make good decision and work as a team to accomplish perfectness.Teamwork is the most important thing in our live.

For this activity we need to use something to measure..I think this activity is quite interesting because it our creativity will be tested..We need to use an item to measure something like the length of our lab..My group had chosen to measure by a bus ticket and we had fun with this activity..We also completed this task on time..

Halo Madam..
For me,this activity kinda interesting as it involves measuring things without ruler!!
My team choose pen as the measuring tool to measure the room width and length,the dimension of the door,and also the height of each member of my group!! Even though it sounds silly, but it still kinda fun to do it. Well,team work is essential for doing this task. Without it, it's impossible to deal it with enjoyment.

our group have chose umbrella as the measuring system. Luckily we chose umbrella because we have to measure width,length of our class, height of our group member's height and other. So we finished this activity early.This activity quite interesting .

For me,this is the one way to me to attract more in english.The class become so happening during this game.We decided to use a belt and we are luckily because we choose something that was easily to measure especially to find out the length of our class.Although some of them choose something like a ticket and a pen but,they use their brain.They convert it to other thing and they use their mathematics in this game. Hahaha. Good work!.This game teach me how important to us to be creative and to work together...

firstly i felt astonished because this activity which created is the most special & unique.i really enjoyed this activity.our group members have selected right choice,using umbrella,new type of measurement item to complete our task immediately & swiftly. i started to laugh when we use umbrella to measure the nose of our group members.its sounds funny!this activity will cultivate our teamwork & creativity!

hello..at first mdm jumani ask to choose any object thah can measured. our group choose matric card. and then, when mdm jumani write what should we measured, we are very surprise that must measured length n width of the room.that's quite funny. how long can we take to measured by using the matric card hahaha. then, we get the idea. we are use din's belt to measure. the belt is equal to 15 of matric card. so, we can easily measured. this activity make me become more creative and know many things about measured.

Madam Jumani ask us to find something that can used it to measure...Our group choose a belt as the measuring system.Our group are luckily because we can measure the thing easily.However,not all the thing we can measure it easily such as the lenght of nose in each member in group.From this,i learn to be creative person and apply mathematical calculation in this activity.

i have 2 use matric card 4 my group....n i hve 2 measure mny kind of things...it is so enjoying....im so happy...this xtvt helps me 2 co-operate with my group members n teach me on how to measure using many kind of things.....

this activity was very interesting and attractive.Standard measurement is important in order to standard the value that we get..

For this activity,my group choosed the umbrella. Thanks to Chang because she suggested us to use it. It is easier for us to measure the items compared to others group that used the matric card, bus tickets and so on. For me, i enjoyed this activity.

measure for measure????????????????
i never thought that i still have chance to experience measuring in this age,just like back to primary school.Quite fun,i just fond of it but this time it kind of different way of measuring...................
Pen is what the substituent of ruler this time.Kind of weird and impossible.Finally we manage to measure a large surface of the class and it take longer time as usual.It is difficult but i think this can practise our patience as well.haha i love it as i never do like this before.So it is quite unique for me.hopefully still can do it in the future.Back to childhood,hehe

It’s quite hard to think the best and the suitable measuring system at first..my group has decided to use calculator as the measuring tool (i wonder whether it is the best one).. i don’t find that it is really hard to measure using calculator as each of us have a calculator..so..we divided the task to our group members.. but we have to be very patient to measure those things accurately.. and it’s really fun measuring people’s nose even though it sounds ridiculous.. huhu..i really enjoyed this activity!!.. i was very thankful as we already has standard measuring system because i am certain my measuring system have lots of errors and uncertainties..

em.....this xtvt was so interesting 4 me...i can use mny kind of measuring system without my own thinking...it also teach me to be more creative and make my brain always running...it also give some xcercise 4 me..hehehe...juz kidding...

for me,it's quite fun activity..my group has decided to measure using calculator...actually it's hard to measure something when the other people use different things...i was very thankful because nowadays we already has standard measuring system..i really enjoyed this activity!!!

Firstly, i did not know whis is the activity 'Measure for Measure'.The teacher wanted all gruop to choose an item as a measurement tool.I suggest my group to choose belt, but they did not agree.Finally, we choose a pen. When the teacher wrote the things that we have to measure, i felt regret. This is because we had to use a pen to measure the length,width of room.It is so difficult to measure by taking much time. But pen is suitable to measure the length of nose of group members.Others group that chose umbrella and belt are easier to measure the length and width of room ,while is harder to measure the nose.Although it is hard, we completed this task on time with our understanding cooperation of my group.Therefore. i discover thet the standard measurement system is very important to handle these all condition.The big and small items have their own weakness. I cannot imagine this world just got these items for our measurement tools.I really appreciate the effort done to create them of the scientists. As a result,i will use the standard measurement wisely in the future to do assignment and all the things those need to measure.In conclusion, i enjoy the activity very much and hope this tkind of activity will be teached in the future.

At first, Madam Jumani ask each groups to choose an item as their group measuring tool. And our group chose belt. Then she gave us some task to do; that is to measure the dimension of room, height of each group member and the absurd thing is to measure the longest nose in our member. Wow. How are we going to do that? But we manage to do that.

From the activity, I learnt the important of the system measurement. Without the standardize system, the world would be chaos as each country will follow their own measurement system.

first of all i got to say it is a very interesting activity.my group choose a belt as a measuring instrument.thank god.even now i feel sorry for the team who choose a pencil or a pen to measure the whole room.but at least it is all bad because we know how many pen or pencil it takes to measure the room.hahahah.so through this activity we are able to realize the importance of measuring system in our lives.

Hi everyone....how are you....this about measurement activity...this activity quite interesting....we must chose one object that we can used to measure...my gruop chose a calculator as a measurement....actually i don't why we must chose something as measurement....after we chose one object...madam tell us to used the object to measured width the room n height each group.....oh my god...our group chose a calculator...can u imagine how we measured that room....however...this activity very interesting

when i think about my measure to measure activity i wii laugh because it is quite funny.every group need to decide to choose a object as a system of measurement.my group choose pen as a system measurement.it give a trouble to my groups when we are asked to measure a big object like thr wide of class room and slso a small thing like nose.can you imagine how to measure the nose used a pen.it ridiculous...!the class at that day very noisy with the laugh and voice others student.it very funny when some others groups use calculator as a measurement system.

what a shock for me.Can you imagine that my class is going to play an activity and the activity is to measure something by using a thing.Is there is no other thing that we can play?...Oh!I have released that words.Actually,the most important is not the game itself but what thing that we can put as a lesson.The game need the students to choose the suitable thing to measure things such as the length of the class also its width.We also need to measure ours height and my group used calculator to measure all of that.What?a calculator?And you know what is my height actually?It is about 10 calculator!Wow!It is a fact.
