We are learning about length…we have been doing lots of measuring!

We have been measuring a range of objects using different materials. We have measured with icy pole sticks, unifix, measuring tapes and rulers. We had to estimate (guess) the measurement first.

We noticed how important it is to start your measurement from the same place all the time. If you are using a ruler or measuring tape, always start from the zero!

Interactive games you can play at home:

Measure It!

Activities you can do at home:

• Use a ruler and measure the following items: How many centimetres long are these items? Remote control, mobile or house phone, DVD or CD cover, book andtissue box
• Find items at home that are: 5 centimetres long, 13 centimetres long, 30 centimetres long, 20 centimetres long and 7 centimetres long.
