This term we have looking at measurement during maths. We have been learning about different units of measurement and all the different ways that an object can be measured.
Measuring the orange
First we talked about all the different measurable 'attributes' of an orange. We came up with the following list:
Height
Circumference
Weight
Volume
Number of pips
Amount of juice
How far it could roll
Next we thought about how to measure these attributes and how to record the measurements.
We created a table so that we could easily track our findings.
We have already learnt about calculating averages so we decided to measure three oranges and work out the average of each measurement.
Here are some pictures of us following this process

| Weighing the orange |

| Measuring how fast the orange can roll |

| Working out the volume |
 |
| Measuring the circumference |
 |
| Measuring the juice...or counting pips |
I like it when classes do there work together.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long a desk is?
what is the longest object you measured
These are really great ideas for us to look at and perhaps further our investigation. Please remember to leave your name next time so we can respond to your comments.
