Measurement Rules!

We have been doing some measurement work this week. We read the book, How Big is a Foot to get us thinking about what measurement is. The students had fun tracing and designing their own foot. Our Big Buddies helped us to compare our feet to objects in the room. What is longer and shorter than your foot?

Here are our thoughts:
A ruler is handy if you are building something. -Kyla
I learned how to measure stuff with my Big Buddy. It was fabulous. -Andrew
