Today we learnt about estimating and measuring with hand spans.
First we read a book teaching us what measuring was all about. Then, we learnt the meaning of some fancy words like: estimate (guess), measure, longer, shorter, wider, narrower. After that, we had great fun measuring with our hands.
Devynee estimated the side of the table would be 6 hand spans. When she measured it came out to 4 hand spans - a pretty close estimate!
Krishna estimated that the width of the computer would be 3 hand spans. It turned out to be 5 hand spans! Another close estimate! Awesome!
Ariel estimated that the width of the computer would be 4 hand spans. It was actually 3 hand spans when she measured. Wow, what a super estimate!
We found that everyone had a different hand span, therefore we all had different results.
