As part of the math curriculum, we have begun a unit on measurement in first grade math. We talked about how many years ago people used their body parts to measure things. Yesterday we investigated different units of measurement from our 'digit' (the width of our thumb) to our 'cubit' (the length from the tip of your elbow to the tip of your finger) to our 'pace' and even 'fathom'! The unit will move onto standard units of measurement later this week.
Callan measures the circle with his foot.
Rosey and Cadence carefully record their measurements in their math books.
Gus uses his 'yard' to measure the easel.
Gavin measures the white board with his fathom.
