Measuring our bodies

This week we have been learning how to measure. With a partner we had to draw around our body. After this we had to measure all around the drawing using our feet.

We got lots of different results!

so we came up with some rules for measuring:
Rule 1. Whatever we used had to be exactly the same, for example:
We couldn’t use pencils as they were different lengths because of being sharpened but we could use pens because they were all the same
Rule 2. Whatever we used had to touch but not overlap, we couldn’t have gaps
Rule 3. We needed to use the same starting point and end point.

We found out that even though we used different things to measure with we could still see who was the tallest and who was the shortest.
After measuring we found out that Nita was the tallest and Kane was the shortest.
