This past week we explored some measurement in Math.<\/p>\n

We read a story called “How Long? Wacky Ways to Measure Length”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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!).<\/p>\n

We gathered sticks from the Quicksand (Upper Field) and then compared their length.\u00a0 We placed them in order from shortest<\/strong> to longest<\/strong>.\u00a0 Then we worked in groups to combine our sticks and once again order them.\u00a0 This is great practice for our communication<\/strong> skills!<\/p>\n

\u00a0What can you compare at home???<\/h2>\n
