Exploring measurement!




Share
General Junior


We looked at the Tallest Dinosaur. Prior to reading our story, we asked the children if they knew what the word length meant.  The children seemed a little stumped, until we began asking them some inference questions.  We invited them to look at the cover of the book and to tell us about the dinosaur.  A few of them shouted out that he was tall.

We discovered that tall is when something has a greater height compared to the plant because it has a shorter distance.

After we finished our discussion of the dinosaur’s heights, each student was given a measuring tape and they started measuring things around the classroom and it was a fun-filled day of measurement, and in particular length exploration. 

The maths challenge for the week was – Who is taller in your family?
