During math workshop this week the talk was all about measurement. The children learned about different units of measurement and were able to put them to use around the classroom. Items such as paper clips and Unifix cubes were used to measure our Lego table, our dollhouse, and even some of our building blocks. The children had lots of fun working with partners and comparing their results. Afterwards, we took it a step further when we experimented with a pan balance and took turns weighing different objects. We used our estimation skills to compare items and make predictions. The snow days really made us ready to come back to kindergarten, curious and eager to learn!
