The Grade 2's measured themselves and a partner with Popsicle sticks and string while they were standing up and laying down. They lay on the floor and measured their partner with Popsicle sticks and then they had their partner stand up, measured them with string, then taped the string to the floor and measured the string with Popsicle sticks. This was to show that their size didn't change when they were laying down or standing.
The Grade 1 students went on a measurement hunt! They were given a pencil to use as a referent. They had to find things that were longer, shorter and the same as their pencil. We also touched on using standard vs. non standard units when measuring. They really enjoyed themselves.
Here are a few pictures from our math class yesterday.
