Measurement Fun


...and using standard unit of measurement.

We even compared our ears, feet and height to animal sizes.
What a fun website! 
Is your ear the size of a gorillas?
Are you the height of a coyote?
What do your feet compare to?

We thought we were very clever because after measuring our heights using metre and centimeter rulers we were able to put ourselves into size order. 
Feel free to use our measurement activity and worksheet.


Pirate Ships

In this unit we explored the size of a metre and developed our own ways to 
estimate a metre length.
We used chalk on the playground to measure and draw our pirate ships. 
Check out the NZmaths website for more details.
Then we pretended we were sailing on the seven seas! 
Ahoy me hearties fare thee well!
