Math News from Miss Garcia
Math News from Miss Garcia
In math, the first grade students are working on measurement. There was a lot of discussion of shorter vs. longer. We compared our classmates and objects within the classroom using short, shorter, shortest as well as long, longer,longest for our math vocabulary. They also ordered 3 different objects by length. The students used both small and large paper clips, tiles, cubes, string and ribbon as various “non-standard” measuring tools.
Some examples of non-standard measuring tools.
Here is a saying we use in order to measure with accuracy. There are hand movements to go with it… “End to end, no gaps, no overlaps.” Have them say and show you! We will continue to practice this week.
“End to end… no gaps… no overlaps”
Happy Tuesday,
Miss Garcia & Mrs. Bloomfield
