Unit 6 Measurement

We are starting a new math unit on Wednesday, January 21.  We will be covering several different concepts under the measurement umbrella.

  • telling time to the nearest second.
  • exploring the relationship between time and distance.
  • counting money and making change to $1000.
  • estimating, measuring, and comparing masses (mg, g, kg, tonnes), volumes, and capacities.
  • relating volume (cubic cm) and capacity (mL and L).


Activities to try at home to support your child:

  • have your child estimate, then measure the seconds required to complete different activities.
  • when travelling, have your child estimate how long it will take to get to your destination.
  • when making a purchase, ask your child to count out the money given and count back the change received.
  • talk about the measurements found on various packages.
