This block we have been measuring using cubes. We had to measure different objects and compare their lengths.

We had to estimate before we measured. We talked about if we had made a sensible estimate.

We found that when we measured bigger objects we needed to use something else to measure with. We tried straws, lollie pop sticks and even our hands and feet. When we used our hands and feet we realised all our answers were different. It was hard to compare lengths because we all have different sizes of hands and feet.
