This past week we explored some measurement in Math.
We read a story called “How Long? Wacky Ways to Measure Length”.
It is a great book about using unusual items to measure with–like sandwiches (960 equals a football field!), licorice sticks (7 stuck together equals a peacock tail!) and peanuts (42 equals an elephants trunk!).
We gathered sticks from the Quicksand (Upper Field) and then compared their length. We placed them in order from shortest to longest. Then we worked in groups to combine our sticks and once again order them. This is great practice for our communication skills!
What can you compare at home???
