We are assessing this week on our current Addition and Subtraction 2 unit. Next week we will begin our measurement unit which lasts about 5 weeks. This unit focuses on the understanding of length by comparing objects to determine which is the shortest and longest. Students measure the length of objects using nonstandard units, such as pieces of string, cubes, and paper clips. Students learn that objects can be compared directly or indirectly. This unit also includes time, under the big idea that time is measurable and can be represented on a clock using hours and minutes. Students are introduced to telling and writing time to the hour and half hour using both analog and digital clock Additionally, we will do some brief work with basic coin identification during this unit.
Essential questions for this unit:
Why do we measure?
What is important when we measure?
