Measurement

Since coming back from Spring Break we have started learning about measurement.  So far we have only been measuring with non-standard units such as snap cubes or crayons.  Yesterday we  were given the task to estimate and measure 4 students in the classroom.  Our unit of measure was a crayon.  We first needed to estimate how many crayons tall the student would be and then actually measure them.  It turned out to be difficult for some students because we had to remember to use our finger as a marker before moving the crayon along in order to get an accurate measurement.  Here are some photos of us measuring our friends.
