Download or read book The Little Book of Measures written by Carole Skinner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brand new Little Book focuses on using everyday objects that appeal to young children in the EYFS, with a clear emphasis on the use of non-standard measures as well as standard measures in meaningful contents. Explore opportunities such as estimating how many 'giant's strides' it is from the door to the climbing frame, or how many handprints tall each child is, as well as using trundle wheels, metre rules, sand timers, stop watches, balances and scales. The activities use simple to obtain and inexpensive materials, so are suitable for practitioners working on a tight budget (which many of them are)!
