MEASURE IT

We started our unit on measurement today.  We are going to be learning to order and compare objects by length.  We will use direct comparison as well as counting whole numbers of units.  Today the children all brought a favourite soft toy to school so we could make direct comparisons as well as ordering them according to length.

We found that in this grouping Trinisha had a small toy and Lachlan had a big toy.

Tui, Baily and Maddison all had soft toys that were similar sizes.

J.J's bear is bigger than Benjamin's frog.

We continued this theme this afternoon in Discovery Time.  We had a key competency focus of managing our own learning.  The children came up with some creative ways of comparing lengths.
