Numeracy – Measuring

Today we are going to learn different ways to measure.

Draw around, decorate and cut out both of your hands.  Use these to measure how long different items are in your home e.g. table, chair, settee, rug or bed. Remember to place your hand at the start of the item and place the bottom of your palm on your finger tips as you measure.

List the things you measure and write how many hands long they are?

Now use pieces of construction or building blocks (all the same size) to measure some other items for example book, drinks bottle, or cushion.

Arts and Crafts - Select one each day to complete! - If possible complete in order as these will support learning in our Zoom lessons.
