Tuesday May 31 Measurement and Distance

The children have been exploring  distance today in the hallway. The girls used marbles and post it notes to measure the distance of the marble when it left a long tube.

 

They discussed near and far. They also counted  25 square tiles as the longest distance of the marble . The girls are writing the numbers 1-25 to document their findings.

 

The boys built their own vehicles and had a race to see which car went the furthest from the start point.

 

Their findings was interesting. The smallest car won. The boys discussed that it was the lightest. We had three races and the three smallest vehicles won each time. Funny enough it was not the same vehicle. I wonder why ...... that is another discussion. You got to love FDK. questions all the time.
