We measure many things in our world, some of which include:

• time
• ingredients
• distance
• temperature
• mass
• area
• perimeter
• capacity…..and so much more!

We are learning about telling time and getting plenty of practice with clocks and playing games such as Bingo. Grade 4s also need to know how to measure elapsed time. Recently, our Grade 4s learned how to use an open number line (see video below) to help them understand one way to find elapsed time.

Students have been busy estimating and measuring different lengths of items around the classroom and getting a hands-on approach to the difference between cm and mm and km. Getting more familiar with our rulers along with measuring tape, including how to read them properly, has been a lot of fun. Check it out!
