We were careful to put the two lengths side by side to compare, always lining up on one side to make sure we were measuring correctly. Our streamers also curled up, so we had to straighten them to measure correctly. We recorded our findings in our maths journal. We were so clever that at the end of maths time we lined up our streamers, side by side (aligned along the edge of the mat) to compare their length. We lined them up from shortest to longest. This was tricky, it took a lot of talking, moving, swapping and changing where our streamers were, but we worked it out in the end!
In Maths today Rosella revisited length and we were given a piece of streamer. Our task was to move around the classroom to find as many objects as we could that were longer than, or shorter than, our streamer. Firstly we had to make some guesses, or estimations, about what objects we thought would be longer, taller or shorter than our streamer. Then it was time for action!
