=CHPT 10 Measurement=

Culminating Project:
Have students plan a Stuffed Animal competition. Stuffies will be judged on size, and weight and distance they can travel (when thrown) with awards going to the smallest, tallest, lightest, heaviest, shortest and longest. Have students use what they learned about capacity to make or bake a snack for the judges (themselves) Students will also create awards and a data collection sheet for the participants (and don't forget nametags for the stuffies.) Videotape the event for families to enjoy at home.

Longer or Shorter
[|Mathica's Mathshop: All-Star Elf](15:00) Mathica develops her measurement skills as an All-Star Games judge. Her tasks include putting in order of height the candlesticks jumped by Jack Be Nimble, measuring the tallest, and recording the results on a graph. A surprise competitor, the Hare, challenges her further. Mathematical content:number: ordinals,measurement: linear and volume,data management: interpreting graphs.

Conservation
[|Math Monsters: Number Conservation, Transformation, and Equivalency] (15:00) The Monsters decide to plant two gardens, each with the identical number of monster melon plants. When Aunt Two Lips arrives to deliver the seeds, the Monsters are out collecting gardening tools. She leaves two piles, each containing the same number of seeds. However, one pile is stacked high, while the other is spread out. The Monsters argue about which pile has more seeds and then they proceed to develop strategies to discover the truth. This provides an opportunity to explore number conservation and one to one correspondence. In deciding to water their garden, the Monsters come across two water hoses – one wrapped loosely and the other tightly coiled. Again, they figure out that just because something looks different, it doesn’t mean it is different. Our field trip is to a bakery, where we find out how a batch of dough that creates six rolls can actually be the same size as a batch that creates only one loaf of bread.
