This week in Year 1, we’ve been busy becoming mini‑mathematicians! Our focus has been on measuring using non‑standard units, and the children have absolutely loved it.

We used cubes as our measuring tools and explored how to find the length and height of different classroom objects. The children carefully lined up their cubes, counted each one, and recorded how many cubes long or tall each item was.

As we worked, we also talked about comparison—thinking about objects that were taller or shorter than the ones we measured. The children made brilliant observations and began using mathematical vocabulary with growing confidence.
