Today, Room 5 were learning about non-standard units of measure. I know I have learnt about non standard units of measure because our shape was the same shape like the other shapes but our body wasn't the same sizes. This is called an area.
In this photo we made a shape and an estimation of how many students could fit sitting down inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using ourselves. This is a non-standard unit of measure. A non-standard unit is the same objects but not the same sizes.
In this photo we put ourselves inside the shape. Our estimation was three, but our estimation was wrong. The right estimation was eight. Only eight students students could fit inside the shape.
This looks like a fun way to learn about measurement. Did your estimations improve the more times you tried?
