Measuring Length With Objects 📏

Let's Learn About Measuring! 🤔

Today we're going to measure things using our hands and feet, just like First Nations Australians did traditionally!

Activity 1: Measure These Objects With Your Hand Spans ✋

Place your hand along each object and count how many hand spans long it is.

1. Your pencil case is hand spans long

2. Your desk is hand spans long

3. Your reading book is hand spans long

Activity 2: Now Try With Your Foot Length 👣

Measure the same objects using your foot as a unit.

1. Your pencil case is foot lengths long

2. Your desk is foot lengths long

3. Your reading book is foot lengths long

Think About It! 🤔

Which measurement gave you a bigger number for each object?

Circle your answer:

Pencil case:
Hand spans / Foot lengths
Desk:
Hand spans / Foot lengths
Reading book:
Hand spans / Foot lengths

Challenge! 🌟

Find something in the classroom that is:

1. Longer than your pencil case:

2. Shorter than your reading book:
