Ordering by Long and Short

On Wednesday the Marvellous Meerkats learned about long and short.

First we each looked for one thing that was long and one thing that was short.

Next we got into our groups.

Then we put the shortest one down and the longest one down. They have to start at the same spot.

Have a look at the pictures we took:

Same Length Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday, when Mr Davidson was at a maths course, we did some maths of our own. Whaea Mele gave us eight blocks. She told us to find something that had the same length as the blocks. We found pencils, felts, scissors and books.

Short and Long (and Tall)

Last week we started learning about measurement. On Wednesday we talked about what long and short mean. We all got long and short objects in the class. Then we finished the lesson off by building a tall tower in our groups. We only had a few minutes and we had to work together. The rule was that we could only get one block at a time.
