Maths Trail

Measurement is our new topic for maths for the next couple of weeks. Today I needed to know what the kids already knew so I could plan to their needs. I decided a maths trail was a good way to make use of the glorious sunshine and get everyone moving on their first day back.
The maths trail was a series of measurement questions as shown below




The children went around the school in pairs estimating and measuring their way through the ten questions. Tomorrow we will compare answers and talk about our findings. This will give me some good insight into what children do and don't know about measurement at this stage.

  1. I bet the kids loved getting out in the sun today.
    I'll look back tomorrow to see how close the estimates were.
