For the month of April our calendar markers focused on measurable attributes including length, weight, volume, and temperature, along with various tools that might be used for measuring each of these. During Number Corner we practiced identifying attributes that could be measured for specific objects. For example we might measure the length and weight of a marker, but probably not the temperature. We also spent time comparing objects, deciding which was longer, colder, heavier etc. Students particularly enjoyed using pan balances this week to compare the weights of various objects. Perhaps you can tell by expressions that in some cases the results were surprising!
