Measurement fun

We have been learning about measurement and practising comparing lengths of different objects. We all bought a soft toy to school today. First, we introduced our toys to the class and then we lined them up from shortest to longest.


We found out that Kaliyahs toy called Uni was the longest and Sophias toy tiger was the shortest. Then we measured our toys length, arm length and leg length using the unifix cubes. We also compared our toys to some of our friends using mathematical language like bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, fatter etc.


Weekend Challenge:  Can you make a list (or draw) objects from around your home that are longer than or shorter than your arm? We will be sharing the lists at school on Monday.
