Measuring 📏

We have been busy learning about measurement. First, we measured different classroom items with our pencils, then, we measured the width and length of the classroom with our hands and feet- we came to the conclusion that our pencils, feet and hands are all different sizes and we needed to introduce a measuring tool to help us be more accurate. We decided to use a meter stick. Next, we estimated whether items would be shorter, longer or about one meter long. Then we worked in pairs and made our page 1 meter long, first we measured it with a ruler then cut of the excess paper, finally, we drew our fish about 1 meter long and coloured them in. We will explore using rulers next.. we already know there are 100cm in 1 meter!
