Measurement... Degrees of Comfort...




Greetings Friends! What a week! Students have stretched their learning in our measurement unit to include thermometers! We learned degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius and how to read thermometers. We also learned to measure liquids with cups, pints, and quarts. You sure better know how many cups are in a pint when someone's pouring that water into the container.... OVER YOUR HEAD!! Are there really 2 cups in a pint? Because if it overflows... someone's getting WET (and today it was Ms. Worthley wearing all the water!)!! Fun! We also compared our measuring tools. Does a wider container hold more than a tall container? Do shorter containers hold less water? Thinking.... love all that thinking, comparing, measuring and learning! Math rocks!!
