Inchworm measuring

The mathematicians listened to the story INCH BY INCH by Leo Lionni today. It is about an inchworm who measures the length of many animals to spare from being eaten by them. After the story, the students learned about a measuring tool called the ruler, which can measure the length of objects in inches. Utilizing various classroom items, the students first estimated how long these items were before using a ruler. They then recorded their answers and shared them with the class. Nice job!
