Marvellous Measuring

We are currently focusing on the area of Measurement in Mathematics and we have learning about measuring length using informal units. Last week we learnt about estimating and measuring the length of different items in our classroom using blocks. Today we had a super time using rulers and learning about centimetres to measure the length of lolly snakes. In each group one child keep their snake as it was, one child had a headless snake, one child had a tailless snake and one child had to stretch their snake. The children estimated the length of each snake and then measured and recorded the actual length, remembering to have one end of the snake on the ruler starting at 0cm. We love measuring in Maths!
