Provocation with a tape measure

     The children have been using many words of measurement

     and comparing sizes with many items in the classroom. 

       "I want mine to be taller." 

              "Yours is shorter." 

                "This tower is a 30."

                 Recording our data

    The children measured the pendulum, shelves, 

     and towers. Look closely for the representations of these 

     items seen written before the numbers.
