Springing into Spring!

We finished off our measurement unit with some kangaroo measurement jumps outside. (Adapted from a 2nd grade Georgia Math Lesson: https://www.georgiastandards.org) Students chose their own unit to measure and worked with a partner to record estimates and jumps. I was so proud of the way my students solved problems and persevered! In the middle of collecting data a student was figuring out how to count by 12's using her inch ruler and she looked at me and said, "Wow, we really have to use our math for this!" Ha! Exactly!
