This week we have started a new topic in Maths about Measurement.<\/p>\n

We know there are 4 areas of measurement we will learn about\u00a0capacity, weight, time and length.<\/p>\n

This week we have been focusing on length.<\/p>\n

We know some new words for length. Some of them are\u00a0bigger, fat, long, wide, narrow, thin, biggest, smallest, longest, large, big, tall, huge, tiny and short. We have been using these new words all week!<\/p>\n

We have been using non-standard units of measure\u00a0and have tried things like paper clips, play-dough, bricks, and cubes.<\/p>\n

We know 4 really important rules for using non-standard units of measurement for length. They are…<\/p>\n

1.Don’t leave gaps!<\/p>\n

2. They all need to be the same size!<\/p>\n

3. They have to go in a straight line. NO ZIG ZAGS!!<\/p>\n

4. You need to measure the whole thing!<\/p>\n

Some of the stations we have enjoyed doing for length are…<\/p>\n

Roxana & Jay – measuring with paper clips<\/p>\n

Ava & Ruth – measuring the class chairs<\/p>\n

Matthew – using the play-dough to make things long and short<\/p>\n

Lewis W – measuring the animals<\/p>\n

Lewis M \u00a0& Holly- measuring with the building blocks<\/p>\n

Check us out exploring our length stations…<\/p>\n
