Measurement in Room 4

Measuring in Room 4

I have experimented with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amounts in my environment, sharing my findings with others. MNU 0-11a

We had a discussion about the words longest and shortest. We looked at lots of objects and found the longest and the shortest.

Shares ideas with a wider audience, for example, group or class. Benchmark ENG 0-03a / LIT 0-02a

Makes an attempt to take turns when listening and talking in a variety of contexts. Benchmark ENG 0-03a / LIT 0-02a

Compares and describes lengths, heights, mass and capacities using everyday language, including longer, shorter, taller, heavier, lighter, more and less. Benchmark MNU 0-11a

Listens and responds to others appropriately. Benchmark ENG 0-03a / LIT 0-02a

Through play we tried to make the tallest thing and the longest thing.

Compares and describes lengths, heights, mass and capacities using everyday language, including longer, shorter, taller, heavier, lighter, more and less. Benchmark MNU 0-11a

Describes common objects using appropriate measurement language, including tall, heavy and empty. Benchmark MNU 0 -11a

Access to resources that encourage open-ended experimentation helps develop my fine and gross motor skills. (Realising the Ambition)

I built towers with the shortest and growing to the longest.

I added 1 more each time and it got taller.

It looks like steps. They make you go higher.

We sorted things into height and length order.

Everyone had a go at sorting into length order answering questions about shortest, longest, bigger, smaller etc.

We measured things using cubes and pencils.

Estimates, then measures, the length, height, mass and capacity of familiar objects using a range of appropriate non-standard units. Benchmark MNU 0-11a

February 2023

We experimented with balance scales. We arched and episode of Blippi learning about heavy, light, density and capacity.
