The K-Prep class has been learning to measure in all different ways! We have been measuring length, height and distance using nonstandard units of measurement. We have also been measuring and comparing weight using a balance. Lastly, we have been measuring the capacity of different containers. We have been working hard and learning so much!
We measured our height with strands of yarn!
We measured arctic animals with unifix cubes (a nonstandard unit of measurement).
We measured the capacity of all different containers using beans!
We raced cars and measured the distance that each went…
We explored all kinds of nonstandard units of measurement! We measured with straws, crayons, pencils and more.
How many straws is our window sill?
How many cubes is our twistable crayon?
How many straws is our academic center?
How many pencils is our class atlas?
How many crayons is our easel?
How many crayons is our manipulatives center?
How many straws is our word wall?
After we explored the classroom with our measurement tools, we made predictions as to how many cubes long new items in our classroom would be, then we tested our predictions to see how close we came. We had a some GREAT predictions!
