My Project

These measuring items will allow students to get hands-on experience with measuring. Students will learn to measure items around the classroom and throughout the school with these tools. They will also begin to compare lengths and convert lengths.

My goal is to get students off the iPads and textbooks and to have them use their actual skills to learn all about measurement.

My students will love to have these items so that they can get out of their desks and explore the world around them in inches, centimeters, feet and meters.

Mrs. Rankin will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 16.
