My son built a rocket out of rods and connectors. When he was finished, our conversation went like this:
Me: "How tall is your rocket?"
Zac: "Four rods tall"
Me: "Is there another way we could find out how tall your rocket is? What could we use to measure it?"
Zac: "We should use a measuring tape"
What needs measuring at your house? What informal (feet, hands, pegs, pasta, spoons...) or formal (ruler, measuring tape...) materials can you use to measure it?
Adrian built a tall lego tower and mesured it using hands and feet it was five hands tall or four feet tall.
