For the past couple of weeks,
students have worked on measuring in standard units.
The students created their own yard and meters sticks in order to measure items found in our classroom.
We even placed 8 meter sticks together to illustrate creating the length of a school bus - the kids had a blast with this task!
For one of our measurement projects,
students constructed a "House of Centimeters."
Students measured the two dimensional parts (height and width)
of each item used to construct their house.
We are now working on comparing how items can be measured using two different units (inches and centimeters) and how these measurements compare.
