This week we have been estimating and measuring using rulers and metre sticks.
Here are five measuring activities –
(1) How long is a stick of spaghetti? Is it the same length after it has been cooked?
(2) Measure the length of your foot. Then measure the distance between your wrist and your elbow. Compare the two distances.
(3) Can you make your own ruler?
(4) Estimate, measure and draw lines to the nearest 1 cm, 3 cm, 9 cm, 12 1/2 cm and 6 1/2 cm?
(5) Can you measure the length and width of your bedroom?
Comment to let us know how accurate you were. Thank you.
