Fun with measurement!

In class, the year one children have been participating in various measurement activities. We have used informal units such as unifix cubes, MAB blocks and wooden cubes to measure things around the room. We also got to measure ourselves today!

We partnered up and we had to do some estimating of how many unifix cubes, MAB's or wooden cubes it would take to reach the length of our bodies. We had some pretty close guesses and some guesses that made us really think about the size of the materials we were using.

This measurement activity provided the Year One children with a hands on real life experience with measuring which was also a lot of fun! This relates to the Measurement Outcome of:

Measure and compare the length and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units (ACMMG019)

Here are some photos of our learning!

Keep an eye on the blog for information about an up coming excursion and a visit from Bunnings (some helpers might be needed!) 

See you all tomorrow
