How long is a piece of string?

This week in Maths Rang a Ceathair are learning all about length and measuring distance. We started by discussing different items that we can measure length with such as a trundle wheel, metre stick and ruler! We then undertook the challenge of measuring the length and width of the classroom. We discovered the metre stick must always start at zero and to get the most accurate length it is important to measure in a straight line so using the edges of the classroom worked well!
