This week in math, we will be starting a brand new chapter! In chapter 13, we will dive into measuring and comparing objects! We will begin by comparing heights and lengths and then on Thursday, we will move onto comparing weights! 

Try these activities to have fun with measurement. 

• On laundry day, have your student help you sort the clean socks into pairs using length as an attribute. As you work, talk about which socks are longer or shorter than others and how sock makers determine lengths based on the age (size) of the wearer and style. For example, anklets are shorter than knee socks.
• When setting the table, have your student show you spoons or forks that have two different lengths. Ask your student to tell which is shorter and which is longer. Discuss their purposes, for example, for serving, for salads, or for main courses.
