Maths

Length, Area, Perimeter, Mass, Capacity and Volume 

In Maths, children are learning about  Measurement. They are exploring many different areas of measurement such as length, area, perimeter, mass, capacity and volume

The children are learning measurement through comparing, describing and measuring. They compare, describe and learn to work out which objects are longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, or hold more or less. 

They measure using their hands, ice pole sticks, ruler, measuring tapes, containers, cups and scales.  

Have some fun with your children by going on a ‘House Hunt’ to find; 

• Longest or shortest thing in your house 
• Heaviest or lightest fruit or vegetable in your house 
• Cup or container that holds the most or least water
• Or find things around the house that they can measure with their hands, string, measuring tape, cups etc 

When children notice things that are long or short, heavy or light, hold more, hold less encourage them to compare them with other objects
