This fun and simple activity helps students practice their measuring skills while exploring objects outdoors (or indoors). Students will use a 1-meter piece of string to measure various objects, recording whether they are greater than or less than 1 meter. The activity is easy to prepare and encourages hands-on learning with minimal setup.
This resource includes 2 levels of differentiation:
- Level 1: Students complete a table by finding objects greater than or less than 1 meter.
- Level 2: Students estimate and measure objects using the string, then record their findings.
Teaching tip: Demonstrate how to use the string effectively for accurate measurement before the activity begins.
