What’s The Measurement 

Last week we started learning about measurement. Last week (week 9 term 3) we had to get into groups so we could learn to carry out practical measuring tasks involving length, mass and time. First we had to close our eyes in our group with a stopwatch on and we had to pause it and see how close we were to 1 minute. Then we had to tie something heavy up with string like a stone and then we had to put the stopwatch on again then we had to make the rock swing every second, we did it. Next we cut up some cardboard into a circle with a line, every time it fully rolled it measured 0.5 m so 2 full rolls would be one metre. What I think was hardest was perfectly cutting the circle out of the cardboard and what was easiest was probably trying to get closest to 1 minute but sadly I didn’t. 

Have you ever done measurement in maths before? Also here’s a photo of the thing we made or what it looks like at least
