Y2 Maths learning - Week beginning 21st November 2016

This week we have been looking at measuring the height and length of various objects.  We have started looking at metres and centimetres as standard units of measurement.  We have talked about how we can be accurate and careful in our measuring and had a go at using various equipment to measure objects in the classroom.  At home you could use a tape measure to find things that are more than, about the same as or less than a metre.  When measuring anything in metres and centimetres check that the 0 on the ruler is lined up with the end of the object you are measuring - this is the concept that the children find trickiest!
