Grade 1 Measurement

We are continuing our work in measurement. The kids love measuring items found around the classroom! I'm so happy that one of our final units is so engaging (our kiddos have Spring fever so it takes something very interesting to get such focus)! Today we talked a little bit about area. I had the kids use playing cards (non-standard like Mr. Measurement) and asked them the question: Which has the greater surface-your desk or your chair? They had a blast. The kids measured their desks, chairs, my stool and a few big books. They wanted to measure our large mat but I didn't have enough cards! Oh well there is always tomorrow!
