We have just wrapped our first week of our new measurement and data math unit. This week the children had the opportunity to read several books on measuring and learned vocabulary words such as longer, shorter, taller, heavier, and lighter as they worked to compare themselves to the word around them. We had the opportunity today to talk more extensively about units and how when we measure in non-standard ( not fixed) units we need to look at our vocabulary attributes since they will affect how many of a unit we need to measure. Next week we will dive into comparing the length of different objects and seeing how changing our units changes the number of items we need when measuring!
