Debbie Diller's Chapter 8 Measurement

Measurement is a great opportunity for our students to participate in hands-on activities, explore their environment and learn a bunch of new math vocabulary! :) Debbie Diller tells us that it's overwhelming for children to remember all the measurement vocabulary we ask them to use, especially if we teach all the strands of measurement at once. She said, "This is a very important (and foundational) area of mathematics, so be sure to provide enough time to teach measurement concepts well." "If possible, start by teaching students how to measure length over several weeks... a few weeks or even months later, teach about measuring weight or capacity. Instruction on measuring time should take place later in the year."

In Lory's words...SPLIT IT UP, SPREAD IT OUT, ENJOY IT LONGER! I am so excited to step up my measurement instruction this coming year. I plan to create a math station devoted to measurement and the various strands throughout the entire year so my kiddos can review, explore and master the many vocabulary and measurement skills.

I've created my freebies with that idea in mind. I've grouped

LENGTH

CAPACITY

TIME TIME

(I've made Hickory, Dickory, Dock at my TpT has been marked as FREE for this week also... it's a fun activity for the entire class.)

and some of my classroom/student's favorite activities.
