Hi girls. This week we will have a look at the topic of length. Remember when measuring anything estimating is always the number one place to start. Good estimation skills are very important as estimation helps us when carrying out the real tasks. You don't have to take too long estimating and you don't even have to be very close, the more you estimate the better you will become.

Have a go at these activities - comparing lengths. You can pick what level you want to try; One star, two star or three star! The answers are included!!

Now you're in the swing of it try one of these perimeter tasks. Remember, getting the perimeter is like taking a walk around the outside of something and working out how far you have walked in total.

Once again you can pick what level you wish to try....oh....and the answers are included here too!

Measure for pleasure!

Now for some fun around the house :) .....Here's a little measuring task for you. You can work on this on your own or maybe someone in your house can help you. If you're in touch with any friends from school then you could even compare or work as a team over video call. Maybe you could challenge an adult and see whose estimates are the closest.

On the list you will find items around the house for you to:

Estimate > Measure > Compare

Choose your own "unit of measurement" appropriate to the item being measured and off you go....Have fun and feel free to add to this list or change it around to suit yourselves!!!
