Measurement at Home

We have begun a unit on measurement. Students have measured with cubes, string, paper clips, popsicle sticks, and paper strips. They are learning that you can measure with several different units. This unit will evolve into using actual measuring utensils such as rulers. If you have a ruler at home, take time to show your child how to use it. Turn them loose in the house, let them measure whatever they want and record the measurements. I know they will have fun!
