Numicon is a maths resource we have for children to use. It is a visual way of seeing numbers represented by a variety of shapes and sizes. Arlo, Dustin and Lucia put all the numicon pieces together to create this long pattern. Then they measured it to see how long it was. They used non standard measurement to work out it was 2 and a half children long! Then they used a combination of rulers and other objects to see how long it was - 2 metres, 60 centimetres plus a felt pen and a crayon long!
What other ways do you think they could measure it?
We have all sorts of things to measure with in Kohara - tape measures, small and long rulers, ice block sticks, cubes and much more...
The children also found out the the short way of writing the measurements - m for metres, and cm for centimetres.
