Primary 4a have been developing their estimation skills in Numeracy this week. They worked in groups to estimate the weight of different classroom objects. They confidently used the scales to weigh the items and recorded the weight using the correct vocabulary.
Primary 4a are learning to estimate the length of objects and then select the most suitable instruments to measure them. They applied the skills they had learned in the classroom to the outdoors. They worked in a team to discuss the best possible strategy to measure larger objects in the playground and Chestnut Garden.
The also used non standard units to measure the girth of trees and can explain the advantages and disadvantages of using standard and noon standard units of measurement.
Chloe, Kulsoom and Sara are working together to discuss the best way to measure the width of the plant pot/
This team are discussing how close their estimates of the length of the wall are to what they measured. They were very close!
The boys agreed that using a measuring tape was the best tool for this job!
Primary 4a used their knowledge of everyday classroom objects to make estimates of length. They then used their rulers to accurately measure the items they had chosen to the nearest centimetre, recorded the information in their jotters and compared their estimates to the actual lengths.
