Number in Measurement

Measurement-Length

You are going to make your own metre rule with string.  You only have a 30 centimetre ruler…how can you use this to make 1 metre rule?

                   

We are at the end of another week and what a lot of thinking, learning, discussing and fun has been had in our maths sessions!  The children have certainly learnt about how accurate they need to be when measuring and have a new appreciation for the jobs builders, plumbers and dressmakers do and how maths plays such a valuable part in their jobs!  We have been exploring the meaning of equals, bonds to 100, basic facts and place value!  We are also learning to show our thinking in different ways.
