Bugs Bugs Bugs

Bugs, bugs, bugs everywhere!

Believe it or not - this was our maths lesson today. We were learning to measure in different units and estimate the measurements we couldn't see (like weight).
First we created massive bugs. Then we named them and measured them in as many different ways as possible. Some of us were able to rename measurements in mm, cm and m!
Josh, Seth and Ollie create their bugs

Eva, Ella and Bella with massive bugs. Ella estimated how much her bug would weigh if it was this big in real life - she thought maybe 6-7kg's!

How many different ways could we measure them and with what units?


Kate was learning to convert centimetres into millimetres




Some bugs were curvy and harder to measure with straight rulers. We really had to think these ones through a bit more.

  1. How did you measure the curvy bugs with straight rulers?
