Our Measuring in Room 2

Lately we have been measuring things inside and outside our classroom for measurement in maths. We have all been put with buddies to measure items around the school with 30 cm and 1 meter rulers. We have been copying off a list and recording what we have measured in our maths book. We have been using teamwork together to measure things over a meter. All of us have been measuring ordinary and odd things like a dictionary and Mr. Adrian's shed. Some of the things we have measured are huge, small and just normal sized. Examples of things we measured are: Door, Friends, Big green rubbish bin, Desk, Flat computer screen, Picnic table, Sandpit. By Briony and Beau.

Check out our photos below.

What are we measuring?
