We measured another year for a friend who turned 7 over the weekend! Happy Birthday!!
How Do we Measure in First Grade?
With Non-Standard Units!!
(what are those? things like paper clips and counting cubes)
This week we have begun to learn our...
rules of measurement!
Measure from starting to ending point.
Measure in a straight line.
Measure with the same unit.
Place unit of measurement end to end.
(Do not overlap or leave a gap!)
We used our foot to measure objects in the room and guess what??? When we all measured our desks we got lots of different answers! We discovered that it is important to use the same units of measurement if we want to compare. Here is a great book that we read to help us understand some of our measurement rules.
Bear Hugs,
