Measures in Errew!

On By errewns

We started with non-standard units (strides and cubits) and we used our beautiful natural environment around our school!

We used our basic school and grounds maps.

We created our own grids and marked them accordingly with our co-ordinates.

We hid some post-Easter eggs, who doesn’t like a bonus hunt?!

We measured out some metre stings, buddied-up and away we went.

Each group had a section of the yard and grounds to measure.
We measured the perimeter and then calculated the area of each section!

Some groups got an additional section- the shelter- measured too. We have a project planned for our shelter, so all data is appreciated!

We combined our data to work-out a total area of the measured sections.

We’ve also been studying the circle, so next challenge is the area of a circle!

Check out our practical work!

Happy Easter!
