Measuring!

In Maths, we are learning about measurement (as well as 'polishing up' our basic facts).
Last week, we started learning about measuring lengths of objects and distances outside the classroom.

We kicked off our topic by measuring our smiles.
YES! We actually measured our smile, by using string. We discovered that some people have bigger mouths than others. Miss Jeynes said she already knew this. (ha ha)

Then we used our 'smile lengths' to measure objects around the class. We estimated first...

We practised estimating and measuring lengths and widths of objects in centimetres. Then we moved outside, and used metre rulers to estimate and measure larger spaces ...

 

 

We are getting smart at working out perimeter and areas of shapes ...

 

 

 



Next week, we'll be learning about measuring liquids. Stay tuned !
