measure – Class of 2015

Measurement

P4b have been learning about estimating and measure in Maths. We used our knowledge of everyday objects and our eye for detail to estimate the length of items of our choice. We measured the items and recorded and compared the results.

We then used some different measuring instruments to measure larger objects and distance outside. Our estimates improved with practice!

We estimated that Mr McGarvey would be 2m but he was 1m 12cm!

Measurement

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.
