We had lots of fun in math class lately. In our measurement unit we have been checking out how long/ tall and short things are compared to each other.

You may want to have some fun with this at home! Here are some ideas: Line your family up in order of height;  line up shoes in order of length; roll out playdoh (or cookie dough ! ) - who can make the longest :"snake"? ; line up the stuffed animals in order of height...

Sesame Street has fun with this concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVJQcwga0eI (link is external)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USGCnq0SRms (link is external) and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtDBSvDbzxA (link is external)

Ask your child about "the same starting point" as you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWHivueHzg (link is external)
