Description
This is a fun way to get students up and moving as well as giving them the ability to use different units of measurement!
Directions:
Give students 3 pieces of paper and a pair of scissors. Have them cut one piece of paper at a time, trying to make a different length piece every time. Once finished, measure with a variety of objects (could be a yard stick, ruler, cubes, etc). Record their measurements in the space provided and circle the longest piece of paper. This is also a great STEM activity!
