Math - Measurement:
Grade 4: This week in maths we are working on estimating lengths of up to a metre. Can you please find objects at home that you estimate to be 1 cm, 10 cm, half a metre, and 1 m long? You can record the names of the object and the estimations on a google doc, creating a table with rows and columns to make it clear. You could even take a photo and send it to Ms. Alison. Choose one object to bring to school for others to estimate. You will measure your object in school.

Grade 5:
How many children from our class can fit in a cubic metre?
This week at school we have been exploring the volume of objects and have used both litres and cubic metres and centimetres as our measuring units.

We invite you and your family to guess how many children from our class will be able to squeeze into a cubic metre.  We will be trying this out on Friday, so please send your guess to school before then.

Send the below information via e-mail to Ms.Alison.

Family Name:___________________

We think that _____________________children will be able to squeeze into the cubic metre. This is a diagram of our thinking that went into our guess.
