Year 2 - Measuring Length

Lesson: Maths

Today year 2 braved the cold in maths!!!! This week we are looking at measuring length and distance. We know that Usain Bolt can run the 100m in 9.58 seconds (just under 10 seconds) and wondered how far we could run in that time. First we decided we needed to measure out a track and predicted how far we would run. We used a trundle wheel and a metre stick to do this. Then Mrs Kirke timed us and put down a marker to show our distance. Then we measured how far we had run by looking at how many metres we had run and then measuring how many centimetres further than this we had travelled.
