Baby Steps, Craft Sticks, Basketball Player Steps, Oh My!

During one of our measuring activities this week, first graders had to measure lengths of tape around the room with different size units:  baby steps, craft sticks, or basketball player steps. After completing all of the measurements, students worked in groups to figure out why the total numbers (measurements) were different for different units. They engaged in some great discussions!  Ask your child to explain to you!!
