How long?

We are learning to use non-standard units (ordinary objects) to measure items in the classroom. Today we used interlocking blocks to make measuring sticks. 

We found that HongXuan is more blocks high than William. Simi and Yangyang worked hard to measure together without breaking their measuring stick, and Yangyang discovered she could measure the height of Grisha’s leg in blocks.

Leesha and Penaia found the doorway was 77 blocks wide. William, Iversyn and Lincoln were a great team measuring the wall.

Sebastian and Madina investigated the height and length of items on the door. 

Eva, Grisha and Judah found some items that were longer and shorter than their measuring sticks. 

HongXuan and Sara worked together to measure the length of the table, HongXuan also measured it in ice block sticks - there were more blocks than ice block sticks. 

It was a great way to end Maths Week!
