Measurement Mania

We have been studying measurement in our classroom.  We began by having a discussion about what measurement means and why we use it.  The students were challenged to measure objects in the classroom
.

One of the expectations is measuring using non-standard measurement tools.  Students measured various objects (e.g. shoe, carpet, straw, backpack) using paper "meatballs".

We measured how tall each student in our class was and made flowers displaying our different heights.

We then decided to measure objects using a form of standard measurement, a ruler.
