String measurement

Give your child a length of string to use as their measuring tool. Find objects around the home that are longer/taller and shorter than the string. Record your results on paper.

Week 3 MD.1.1a nonstandard measurement

Inch by Inch

MAFS.K.MD.1.a

Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.

Inchworm measuring

In kindergarten, we do not expect the understanding of rulers and standard measurement. The idea is that they begin to understand that things can be measured and the rules of measuring. (start at the beginning not in the middle, make sure the measurement tools are lined up with no space between)

You do not have to use these rules. use any object around the house such as paperclips, legos, blocks, etc.

Week 4 MD.1.2 comparing measurements

mittens.docx

As we begin to compare measurements, it helps to be able to see things that are shorter/longer, taller/shorter.

Put these mittens in order by size or find 5 objects around your house to order by size.

Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. Cognitive Complexity: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
