Over the last couple of weeks the students have been exploring Measurement - how short or tall something is. 

We gave students a range of activities to build on this new learning.

 - Measuring dinosaurs, bean stalks and penguins using cubes

 - Measure objects around the class using cubes

 - Sorting caterpillars from shortest to tallest.

To extend students we had an activity set up to work on using a ruler by connecting dots to reveal a picture. From there we could assess which students were ready to use a ruler as another measuring tool. 

We also looked at different shapes - the students had to match shapes to complete a picture.

The students also enjoyed making use of the Numicon - using these to fill up a board, they then identify all the different Numicon shapes they used and attempt to count them all together.
