Measurement

For the last two weeks T12 have been learning about measuring.

We started by learning how to measure the volume of a container. We learnt that you need to:

• measure each container with the same item - that way it's fair and you can compare
• Count the items (blocks, dinosaurs etc) as you put them in

We worked with a buddy to measure and compare some containers.

We used what we had learnt about measuring volume to help us measure the length of an object. We decided to measure accurately you need to:

• Start at the edge of the thing you want to measure
• Use the same object to measure (e.g. blocks, dinosaurs etc)
• Have the same spaces between objects
• Keep the objects in a straight line
• Count how many objects you used

Curriculum Area:

• Mathematics and statistics

Key Competencies:

• Interactor (staying with my buddy, taking turns, listening to my buddy, looking at my buddy when they speak, saying nice words, sharing the work)
