Year 2

In Mathematics Year 2 students have been exploring the topic of length. We thought carefully about what the length of an object is and how we can measure length using informal units of measurement, such as paddle pop sticks, and formal units of measurement, including millimetres, centimetres, and metres. Students engaged in a variety of hands-on activities, measuring the length of objects and distances within the classroom, and in doing so, recognised the importance of placing the units end to end without gaps or overlaps to achieve an accurate measurement.
