Measurement: Length

Over the last few weeks in Mathematics we explored length as a component of measurement. We began our investigations into dimensions, taking time to observe the width, height and depth of various items within our local environment. We noted that length was the distance between two points and that using the metric system most of the things could be measured using millimetres, centimetres, and metres. We used a range of measuring tools, including rulers, tape measures and string.

This week we used our skills in measurement to make towers with the exact height of 55cm. Here are some photos of our proud architects...
What's the height of the tallest tower you've been in? Share with us in the comments below.
