Measure Like Movie Stars With Drag and Drop Activities!
Get ready to make measurement the star of the show with brand-new interactive resources from Teach Starter! This year, we’re excited to help even our youngest students make sense of the world of measurement with engaging activities surrounding informal units of measurement!
As teachers, we know it’s not easy to find the resources you need to teach little learners the foundations of measurement. That’s why we’ve created a fun interactive activity perfect for use as a whole-group activity, small-group activity, or even an independent activity on an iPad or computer.
Informal Measurement at the Movies! Digital Learning Activity
This engaging Google Slides interactive activity uses the platform’s standard edit mode to invite your learners to measure a variety of objects using popcorn, a tasty option for an informal unit! It is designed for use with students in late kindergarten or first grade.
Over the course of fifteen slides, students will drag and drop pieces of popcorn to measure various objects and then record the measurements using number tiles. It’s the perfect way to excite them about math and learn how to measure using informal units!
