What is in the Size of a Foot? | This lesson will allow students to compare and order the length of objects by using an item close to them... their feet! They will explore the length of their feet compared to the lengths of the feet of others in their groups. Students will then make statements to describe the comparison of the length of their feet, and other objects, using comparison language such as shorter, shortest, longer, and longest. |
How Does Your Garden Grow? | In this lesson, students will help create an interactive bulletin board by measuring the height of a paper flower using connecting cubes and then directly comparing the height of their flower to the height of two others. Then students will "plant" their flowers in flowerpots on the bulletin board in order from shortest to tallest, so that other class gardeners will have the chance to see how they “grow”! |
