Estimating and Measuring

Recently, we explored the concept of estimating length in class.

First, we measured various objects using blocks, comparing how many blocks it would take to measure a given item. The children enthusiastically arranged the blocks and tested which object was longer and which was shorter.

Then, we recorded our measurements on worksheets, noting the number of blocks we used to measure each object.

Finally, we connected all the cylinders together, creating a large thread.
