IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today, we introduced two games to work with measuring.  The first game the children took pages that had squiggly lines on them.  Then, the children had to put a piece of yarn on that squiggly line until it matched perfectly.  They then had to guesss how long the yarn is.  After they guessed how long the yarn was, they had to measure it with their ruler and see if their prediction was correct.

The second game the children had 4 cars labeled A,B,C,D.  The children let each car go down an incline and they placed a peiece of tape where the car stopped.  Then they measured from the bottom of the incline to the front of each car to see which car went the farthest.

Both games were such a hit!  When we were going around the circle talking about how the games went, these were the words that were shared:  Joe-“INCREDIBLE!”, Maggie-“AWESOME!”, Danielle-“GREAT!”And tomorrow we are going to play them again.
