Exploring Measurement

This week we have been exploring measurement. Our Essential Question was: "Why do we measure?" We talked about careers that used measurement all day such as a construction worker, a baker or chef, and a pharmacist. Then we got to work measuring.

Dustin and Meryck are measuring a book with unifix cubes. They then record their find on the recording sheet. They all had six different objects around the room to measure.

Isabella, Desiray, and Mitchell were all working on measuring the table. Some of us learned an easier way to count all those cubes, break them off in groups of ten and then count by tens. Wow! That made it easier.

Meryck and Cooper are measuring a shelf.

They even had to measure each other. They LOVED that.

Dustin and Desiray are using the hundreds board to help write larger numbers.

On another day, we explored weight. We had all kinds of object to compare.
