Room 10 students explored the mathematics concept of measurement. We discussed standard-units during classroom conversation. We talked about how centimeters and meters were made easier using measuring tapes.
The goal of the lesson was to measure the tables inside the classroom, the junior playground area, the sand pit, and the deck area of the front/back area of Room 10. Students were very excited for this hands-on-investigation. They were able to record their measurement in their group books. They learned how important it is to record the units of measurement.
Great conversation, communication, and cooperation were observed throughout the lesson. I heard their laugh, discuss/defend when they were doing their measurement inside/outside of the classroom. The students were able to discuss what was happening and make comparisons between the sizes of areas.
Mrs Singh has seen wonderful group work while students were measuring the different areas. When Mrs Singh was walking in the classroom/outside to take photos, she noticed that conversations were all about the measurements and they were using appropriate vocabulary of measurement.
