Investigating Measurement in a Play-Based Program

Measuring an elephant tree leaf.

Students suggested that we use to links to measure the leaf.

The leaf is taller than this student.

"We want to measure you, Mrs. Kelly."

Carefully measuring out the vanilla needed for our recipe.

"You're taller than me."

Mesauring to see how much water we have after our ice melted.
