Introducing...Measurement!

Our class is beginning to learn all about measurement in our Math Workshop.  Measurement incorporates a lot of different components, so here is a breakdown of our unit and some resources you can use at home to help you support your child's learning! 

We will...

• use different tools of measurement to label length and width of objects and make reasonable estimates about size- Funbrain Measuring Inches & Centimeters (a fun game to practice measuring centimeters/inches),  PBS Kids Measurement Games (this site has LOTS of games to practice all different units of measure) 
• identify time on an analog clock to the nearest five minutes-  How to Tell Time (a sort of "lesson plan" for parents, including attached resources and step-by-step directions)
• compute using money by adding amounts together and calculating change back from $5.00- Cash Register (another math game- choose $1.00 or $5.00 and then click on the American flag to get started!)

Have fun measuring all kinds of "stuff"! Time...money...and all kinds of objects!!!
