Maths This week we will be looking at measuring and will focus on length, height and distance. Explain how length tells us how long something us, height tells us how tall something is and distance tells us how far something is. Have a look at this picture as a way to introduce the words longer, shorter, taller, further, nearer. I have also added the PowerPoint which focuses on different parts of the picture and I have added the suggested questions you can ask.

Can you label it with the word rocket?

Maths Recap yesterday’s learning and go over the words that were introduce to describe length, height and distance. Go on a hunt around the house and find a few different things. Put all of the items together and have a look at which one is longer and shorter? Use a non-standard unit of measure (something that can be consistently used to measure that is the same size) like cubes, paper clips, counters, buttons etc. to measure the items and see which one is longer and shorter . Can you order them from the longest to the shortest?
