Measuring Shoes








We began a new unit in math in January by reading a story called Sylvia's Shoes. This led to children measuring their own feet and tracing their feet so they could measure each other's feet. We have been measuring lines and objects around the classroom as well. We try different "tools" for measuring, cubes and popsicle sticks being the most typical. We then moved on to weighing objects using cubes and teddy bear counters. We've also paused to practice writing numbers. We'll send home some practice sheets for your child to work on at home.
