In math we have been exploring concepts of measurement. We are concentrating on length. In first grade, our objective is to develop accurate measurement techniques. For example, we must line up our starting points and we must be careful not to leave gaps or have overlaps between units. We also used a variety of nonstandard measurements to discover that different units of measure will result in different measurements. Second graders must be able to do the same objectives as far as using accurate measurement techniques and understanding why different units of measure result in different measurements; however, second graders must understand these concepts as they apply to both standard and nonstandard measurement. Therefore, in the pictures of our learning, you will notice second graders using both nonstandard (feet and hands) and standard measurement (inches, feet, yards, centimeters, meters).
