Math Letter

Dear Family, In this unit, your child will be learning about measurement. The Learning Goals for this unit are to ·        Make comparisons between objects (longer, taller). ·        Order lengths of objects (shortest to longest). ·        Compare the areas of objects by covering them with different materials. ·        Practise the language of measurement using words such as longer/shorter, as tall as, more/less, heavier/lighter. ·        Compare the capacities of containers by filling them with water and other materials. ·        Compare the masses of objects using simple scales and balances. You can help your child reach these goals by doing our daily homework and by talking about measurement and using the language of measurement at home.   Thank you, Mr. Williston
