Bigger, Taller, Heavier, Smaller
Late May – June
There are approximately 11 instructional days in this unit, including one scheduled “catch up day”.
The focus of this unit is to provide experiences with measurement. Students will explore qualitative comparisons, using non-standard units to measure and compare quantitatively, and develop language to describe weight and length.
While not necessary for the lessons, the following books are literature connections with a measurement focus:
Adler, David How Tall, How Short, How Far Away?
Allen, Pamela Who Sank the Boat?
Mr. Archimedes’ Bath
Pinczes, Elinor Inchworm and a Half
Slater, Teddy Just a Minute! (Hello Math Reader from Scholastic)
Wells, Robert E. How Do You Know What Time It Is?
