Measurement Ideas
by: Kristen W.

Here are just a few I did for 2nd grade:

I began my lesson by reading the book, "Inch by Inch."
I gave each student bags of different manipulatives and a handout that had each one listed. They were to then measure each item and write it down. Before they did this on their own, we did one or two together.

Another suggestion would be let the students choose items in the classroom THEY want to measure and have them write it down. I chose groups at a time to go while the others worked on their handout.

I hope this helps a little. This was reviewing inches. Let me know if this helps you!
