Linear Measurement
We have now begun our unit on Measurement. Practice these skills at home by asking your child to give an estimate for an object in your home and then you give one too! After, measure it using a ruler or measuring tape and the closest to the estimate gets 10 points. First to 100 points wins! You can also ask your child if they would measure specific items in mm, cm, m, or km.
Here are some online games:
Expectations:
- I can use appropriate units of length to estimate, measure, and compare the perimeters of polygons and curved shapes, and construct polygons with a given perimeter
- I can explain the relationships between millimetres, centimetres, metres, and kilometres and use benchmarks
- I can use appropriate non-standard units to measure area
- I can use square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) to estimate, measure, and compare the areas of various two-dimensional shapes
