In Room 8 this term, along with practicing general number knowledge, we have been spent time learning to measure. We began by comparing things and using the language of measurement, such as shorter, taller, bigger, smaller, longer. Now that the children have an understanding of these different measuring words we introduced measuring using a unit. Standard units such as centimetres, mili-litres, grams etc will be introduced to the children when they are older, but this week we made footprints so that the children could measure height using the non-standard unit of 'feet'.
Measuring Iliyas in 'feet'. He is 7 feet tall.
Adrienne was also 7 feet tall.
And so was Damian!
Cecilia was 8 feet tall.
The children noticed that Lyrissa was 'taller' than 6 feet but 'shorter' than 7 feet. Kori decided that Lyrissa was 'six and a half feet'.
Kori was 7 and a half feet.
Zere-Adam was 6 feet tall, Deevon was 6 1/2 feet tall, Danielle was 6 1/2 feet tall, Ayla was 7 feet tall and Ashleigh was 6 feet tall.
