Children in year 1 have been exploring measure this half term. They compared length and height, before measuring with cubes. They then measured in centimetres, carefully using a ruler. Some children even measured the length of the carpet! They have also explored mass using balance scales. They used the language of “heavier than” and “lighter than” to compare different objects. They then used their reasoning skills to try to work out the mass of new objects based on the mass of other objects.
