Teams combined to race their way around a measurement trail laid out around the school. Here's some of the students using their basic facts and measurement knowledge to work out the problems at each station:
 |
| We worked out that if we measured one weatherboard, and the weatherboards are all uniform height, then we could work out how high the hall wall is. |
 |
| Finding the volume of an object was a new challenge. Ask us how we did this. |
 |
| Here we are trying to find the area of the netball court, and also estimating distances between objects |
 |
| How many litres of water did we need to fill this bucket? |
 |
| To find out the circumference of the room 3 garden we knew we had to measure the diameter and then multiply that answer by pi |
 |
| Could we find an average speed on our classmates over the same distance? |
 |
| We also had to learn to work collaboratively in groups to solve the problems |
 |
| How could we find the area of our classroom door? |
How exciting! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat measuring Room 3. Did you actually work out how high the hall was?
ReplyDeleteYes we did Mrs Hyslop. We measured a weatherboard (10cm) and then we counted how many weatherboards there were and some of us counted up in 10's and some of us multiplied 10cm x the number of weatherboards.

Thank you Karen for looking on our blog (from Josh)
DeleteIt was a fun race but some parts were confusing. What race could we do next?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could design a measurement race for each other next? What parts confused you?
Deletehow did you guy go on the running race
ReplyDeleteit was fun
