Game Objective: To collect items so that the total length is equal to one metre
Materials: 1 metre ruler or tape measure
WALT: Use our knowledge of measurement to estimate length
WILF: Students use known benchmarks to help them estimate length
Summary:
- Students are put into small groups (3 – 4)
- Each student is asked to collect one object from around the room
- The aim is so when the objects are placed in a line their total length will be one metre
- Students are not allowed to use rulers or other measuring tools but can choose how the objects will be positioned
- After students are satisfied that have reached the one metre target the teacher will measure the length
- If students are over or under, they can change one object to see if they can improve their total length (i.e. get closer to one metre)
