Length!

Our focus for this week was length! We began the week using nonstandard units of measurement to measure different objects in our classroom and at our daily mile track. Children used a range of nonstandard units of measure such as their hands, feet, strides, cubes and pencils! Orlaith and Jessie found out that the daily mile is 170 strides long! Back in the classroom, we had a discussion about the problems of using nonstandard units of measure and what we could use to record the length of objects more accurately!
