Measuring things using metres

In Maths we are learning about measurement. Today we learnt about metres. Our task was to;
-Find an object
-Guess how long it is using metres
-Measure the actual length
-And find the difference of the estimated and actual length.

Work out the difference between my guess and the actual measurement.

I found it hard on finding the estimated length because we needed to guess. I enjoyed finding the stuff that we will measure because we explored the classroom to find all those things.

Paper Aeroplanes - Measurement

Paper Aeroplanes - Measurement

In Maths I have been learning about Measurement. I have been learning how to estimate and measure. I made a paper plane. My teacher marked out a runway with a measuring tape. First, I had to estimate how far my plane can go. I estimated 1.5 m, It actually flew 2 m. My second throw I estimated 3 m, it actually flew 2.90 meters. I found hard making the paper aeroplanes because we needed to follow the directions that is shown and it was kinda hard. I enjoyed flying the paper aeroplanes and estimating how long it will go.
