Measuring Tape with Different Units

We measured again the same tapes from yesterday, but this time, we are all using the same units of measure... either craft sticks or basketball player steps (size 14).


Our prediction was that we would all have about the same measurements. Uh, oh! Some of us measured Tape A and we came up with some interesting results.

Why do you think we have some different results?

Morning Warm Up

While waiting for the final bell to ring and the morning announcements, we worked on our morning warm up of our weekly words.
