Math - Measure with Blocks

Using a non-standard units ,like Lego or our hands, to show the children measurement is a fun and helpful way of doing it. The children are familiar with those objects from their daily life, which makes the learning process more concrete and easier to understand for the children.

This afternoon, we used wooden blocks as our units to measure.  

"How many blocks tall is this rabbit?"

I asked the children to collect the objects they want to measure in the room. First, we all made our predictions about how many blocks tall it is. Then, we measured the objects with the wooden blocks.

"How many blocks tall are our friends?" I asked the children. 

The children were all eager to know their height.
