Converting cms to mms...

We are learning to convert units of measurements.  We started with centimeters and worked with Andrea to learn how to convert them to millimeters. We then did some follow up measurements and then worked with a partner to come up with a strategy we can use on our own after we started to see patterns emerge.  Then we went back to Andrea to check our thinking and record our findings using the iPads. 


Here are Hannah, Felix, Emily and Amy sharing their thinking. 


Enjoy.

The Measuring Machine

Today when I got up, Dad said that since I am doing measuring as a topic I might want to bring this measuring device that measures meters so I can measure how long it takes to get from                                 home to school. So I packed my bag and so on, got the measuring machine and went of to school. I guessed it would take a long time to get to school  -so four thousand meters but it was 568.3 meters.                                     I am going to try to make it up to 1000 meters.
