Today we used our predicting skills to guess how many cubes tall our class pumpkin is. We compared one cube and the pumpkin as a visual to help us make our predictions. We decided as a class the our would not include the stem in our measurements. During our learning circle the kinders gave guesses of 3 cubes to 50 cubes. Here's how the process unfolded!
E is making his prediction after seeing the pumpkin and one cube |
We were able to compare what one cube looked like next to our pumpkin. This helped us make our predictions! |
Here is our measuring with cubes centre where we tested our predictions! |
M and K are stacking the cubes |
M is counting the cubes |
Our pumpkin was 11 cubes tall!! |
L. is drawing the pumpkin and 11 cubes |
Here's a sample of M's work |
