    metric activities
    By Carolyn

    My kids really enjoyed finding out how tall they were in centimeters. I had them come to the board and I measured how tall they were. The kids them tried to guess how tall their classmates were by how tall the others were.

    They also enjoyed taking a piece of string and finding out how many centimeters it was around their waist, the length of their shoe, their head, etc.

    We finished by having a metric olympics. The kids tried to see how far they could jump, for example.

    They really enjoyed the metric unit.
