Comparing Length - Longest to Shortest

Here is another comparing length tree map we worked on using school supplies:

Comparing and Ordering Length - Cowboy Theme

This week we have been comparing the length of three objects/pictures. 

If you have a Mimio, check out the activity called "Comparing Length and Size." We started our lesson out by using it. Students are able to drag different objects from shortest to longest. My kids enjoyed it.

Afterwards, I continued with our cowboy theme to create a tree map where students compared objects and ordered them from shortest to longest. 

After doing the whole group activity, I gave students their own tree map and pictures to compare. Students glued these into their math journals from shortest to longest.

We are going to do a similar activity, but compare and order from longest to shortest tomorrow.  

Measurement with Bats and Pumpkins

We measured the length of bats using a variety of manipulatives (dice, dominoes, cubes, circles, and bears).  I gave each table a different bucket of objects and we rotated so students were able to measure with different things.

For area, we used pumpkins. Students ordered the pumpkins from the least area to the greatest area. They also recorded how many cubes fit into the area of each pumpkin.

Students loved the measurement unit. I can't wait until it comes around again!
