This week we began our measurement unit for Maths. We started with a brainstorm of types of measurement that we knew. Height, length, weight, capacity, temperature and time were what we came up with. Next we wrote questions we had about measuring and did a question sort to put the questions into categories. Then we began some measuring activities in the classroom with cubes. Several of us wanted to know how long the classroom was using cubes. We each made a prediction. After building a long line of cubes from one end of the class to the other we needed a way to count them easily. Ceyone suggested we use post it notes to keep track of the numbers. Takumi suggested we should count in tens. Zoe suggested using a set of ten to mark on top each time to make it faster for counting all the tens. With these ideas we set to work, counting, marking and labelling. Next we had some 'double checkers' that came behind to make sure it was accurate. The final cube count was 590. A few of us were quite close in our estimate.
