Part of our learning in Maths this term is focusing on Measurement.  It’s a great topic to incorporate in every day tasks, outside of Maths time too.

During our RME work, we used our skills to measure Ayanda’s turban material that he wore at a recent wedding.  We were shocked   to find out that it measured around 4m 80cm!

The Daily Mile has also created an opportunity  to think about distances in metres, kilometres and miles.  We are counting up laps and adding these measurements together to get a class distance.  To date we have walked, jogged and sprinted our way to 31, 4730m or 314.7 km or 196.7 miles.

This week, we measured out a rectangular shape that measured 50m in perimeter.  We timed how long it took us to walk that distance twice and will use this information to help us work out how long it would take us to walk 1km.
