Year 3 - measuring in metres and centimetres!

Year 3 took part in Active Maths today. They threw beanbags and used metre sticks, measuring tapes and trundle wheels to measure in metres and centimetres how far they managed to throw them. In pairs, they then added their distances together to calculate a total. Then, they subtracted the shortest throw from the longest throw. Lastly, they ordered their throws from longest to shortest. 

Year 3 get measuring!

In Maths, Year 3 are currently looking at length. Today we looked at different ways we can measure the objects around us. We began by using rulers and metre sticks to measure items in our classroom. We then headed out onto the playground to explore how to use trundle wheels. We estimated distances first and then measured distances in metres, using the trundle wheels.
