Our maths topic lately has been all about Measurement!
Every day the children do fitness and at the moment that is a run and the obstacle course. One day I asked the children, "So how far did you run?"
The learning was fantastic! Some children measured the running track with 1m straws, some in strides, some with tape measures and others with a long rope which they then had to measure.
Children counted how many times it took to get around the course with their chosen equipment and then had to work out the length by multiplying the amount of times by the length of equipment.
The next days rich question was, "Who can jump 1m?" the only catch was they had to measure their jump in centimeters.
The children were in small groups taking turns to complete a standing jump and measuring the distance.
Once everyone had their distance we discussed how many cm were in a metre. From this we could then work out if we jumped 1m or more.
