Maths Mela | Class 3
Can there be a way to take the table inside the door if both the length 
and the breadth are more than the width of the door? 
We can use 
this thread to 
measure the 
length of the 
table.
I guess it 
will not pass 
through!
Yes, it is 
longer than 
the door.
I measured 
the length of 
this side of the 
table.
 The table can pass 
through the door  
this way.
Teacher’s Note: Comparing two lengths is not always possible by 
bringing them next to each other like in the above example of the table 
and 	the	 door.	This 	 exercise	 should	help	students 	to	figure 	 out	 that	one 	
can measure indirectly using a common unit.
Can you name some things that cannot pass through your school 
gate? Discuss.  
Make a bridge using boxes or bags or 
any other objects available in your class. 
Place or arrange the boxes so that the 
bridge does not move. Take some objects 
from your class and guess if the objects 
can go through the bridge.
