Measuring Up!
This week we will be practicing our measuring skills. We will be measuring in Centimeters. In the beginning of the week we will start out with whole numbers only. Towards the end of the end of the week will move on to decimals but only in increments of .5. For example 3.5, so on the game please don’t go above Medium Centimeters. I found an excellent site that helps the students practice their measuring skills.
During our measurement unit we will also be measuring weight. At this site you and your child can weigh different animals in different units. The goal is to match the weight in two different units. Level 1 is what we will be working with.
This last site is a great wrap up site for our measurement unit. It has word search puzzles, riddles, hidden pictures, and interesting facts about metrics. This is a great site you can share with your child. It even has a metric chocolate chip cookie recipe! Yum!
