A Handy Situation

Mrs C's Slytherin maths group have been learning about measuring with non-standard units.  This means not measuring with a ruler but finding another way to measure.  We looked at our handspans and we used them to measure things in our classroom.  

Mrs C gave us cm square blocks that we used to measure how many cms long our handspans are.  Here are photos of us measuring our handspans:

Persia concentrating on lining them up correctly so she didn't get a false measurement.

I didn't even dare talk to Matthias, he was so deep in concentration.

Isaia was pretty serious about this measuring business!

Matthias looks pretty happy with himself!  Great job super star!

Isaia was still going, so was Jadyn.  It took us quite a while but our handspans were between 13-19cm long.  We thought this was pretty amazing!
