CENTER FUN, SHOE & HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

In preschool we introduce units of measurement that children can wrap their minds around. Usually those are with regular household objects and toys. In these activities children delve in deeper to understand measurement of length and height with blocks and yarn!

I traced each child's shoe, and they had to use blocks to measure the length of the shoe, touch and count the blocks, and write the correct number.

We cut a piece of yarn to measure each child's height. We attached them to the wall in our science center. We compared their height and discussed short and tall. We will do it again at the end of the year to compare how much they've grown.
