Today the children had a ruler 'problem' to solve! Students were given a cm cube, a strip of paper, and lines to measure. But first...they had to create a ruler! Many interesting discoveries came out of this experience. Students learned that it is actually the spaces on the ruler that represent the cm. Not the numbers! We also learned that even slight mistakes can result in measurement errors. Check out the pictures of us as we build our rulers from scratch!
Last week, we finished our last two data management topics - pictographs (grade 3) and stem/leaf plots (grade 4). Check out the photos of our problem solving experiences!
