A+Matter+of+Measurement

Welcome to our new Unit of Inquiry page all about A Matter of Measurement.

We have had so much fun measuring and thinking about how and why we measure. We have looked at time, length, weight and mass, capacity, money and temperature. We have measured with rulers, tape measures, blocks, pens, bodies and calculators! We have used centimetres, metres, centilitres and millilitres, hours, minutes and seconds, degrees centigrade, grams and kilograms, cents and Euros, and PIZZA! Don't forget the PIZZA! Well done to all the students in the fabulous Grade 1/2 class - you have have all measured up to the task!

Here are a few fun videos to get us going and thinking ... media type="youtube" key="WGqENBjC4RE?fs=1" height="344" width="425" You are never too old for Sesame Street !!!

We are thinking about different systems of measurement and what we use them to measure. What form of measurement are we seeing here in this little video?
