Find the measurement trap
A count is only useful for comparing lengths when the units are the same size.
- Use the same type and size of clip, placed end to end
- Let each person choose a different clip
- Leave small gaps so the clips do not touch
- Count clips without recording their size
Plan a better hunt
Use the measurement ideas to design a reliable mini-investigation.
