Using the Metric System
measurement · metric length measurement, ordering, graphing, and summing data
Using the Metric System is a Grade 2 measurement activity where groups measure the length of each student’s smile, record the results, and compare the data. The class then orders the measurements from least to greatest, graphs them, adds the values, and creates one combined “smile” length from the total.
Use it for small-group and whole-class work when students are practicing metric length measurement and data representation together. The same set of measurements supports comparison, ordering, graphing, and addition instead of treating those skills separately.
