We are starting a new unit in Math on Measurement.  In this unit, your child will be learning how to read a calendar and develop an understanding of linear measurement, distance around, and mass. The Learning Goals for this unit are to: read calendars to find the date and to learn about days and months; estimate, measure, and compare lengths and distances around objects using non-standard units, such as paper clips, straws, or Snap Cubes; estimate, measure, and compare masses using balance scales and non-standard units such as beads, blocks, or Snap Cubes; and to solve everyday problems about measurement.
