Measurement

The past two weeks our mathematicians have been understanding measurement and using a ruler to measure centimeters, inches, and feet. The students had the opportunity to explore and understand measurement. We discovered the following:

• When using a ruler, start at the very beginning of the ruler. Beginning a measurement at one inch will not give an accurate measurement.
• Inches are bigger than centimeters.
• Centimeters help when measuring very small objects.
• 12 inches make one foot.
• 30 centimeters make one foot.
• Three feet are in a yard.

We have enjoyed exploring measurement and using a ruler to be accurate!
