Maths

This week in Maths we have been learning about length. We set personal benchmarks for 1 metre, 1/2 a metre and 1 centimetre. This is what we came up with:

1 metre is about 1 big stride
1 cm is the width of our finger or finger nail
1/2 a metre is an arms length.

We used our benchmarks to measure objects around the room e.g. a door frame, whiteboard duster, big book and table.

At home this week see if you can measure items around the house using a personal benchmark, report back to class!


For Number we have been learning to recognise 2 digit, 3 digit and 4 digit numbers. See if you can read these numbers to Mum and Dad,
