A Measuring We A Go!

The group did a FANTASTIC job learning how to measure length. We first used objects from around the room to measure in non standard units. We used paper clips, erasers, pencils, hands, feet, whatever we could find, to measure.

For homework, we did the same thing, except at home using things from our houses.

This little darlin even measured her living room in DADS. That's right, she had her father lay down across the living room and she counted how many across. Super cool. I have such cool and creative students, don't I? (and supportive parents too!) 

We then learned standard measurement, using inches, half inches, and quarter inches.
