Over the last few weeks we have been exploring the concept of measure.\u00a0 We have experimented with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amounts in the environment.\u00a0 We then shared our findings with our friends.<\/p>\n

We started with the skills of measuring length using our feet and our hands. It can be tricky using your feet to measure and not fall over.<\/p>\n

We estimated how long an object was\u00a0 and then measured it using cubes, straws and paperclips. Using a selection of loose parts we also created towers and arranged them from the shortest to the tallest.<\/p>\n

We can now use language such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u201clong\/longer\u201d and \u201cshort\/shorter\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u201ctall\/taller\u201d and \u201csmall\/ smaller\u201d.<\/p>\n

We investigated the concept of weight using non-standard units such as pegs, stones, clips and cubes.\u00a0 We used\u00a0 a simple 2-pan balance to weigh items and describe which classroom objects\u00a0 are heavier, lighter or\u00a0 about the same weight. We\u00a0 can now place classroom objects in order according to their weight.<\/p>\n
