Maths Reading Visualisation

In reading have been working on our comprehension strategies.  Last week we focused on visualisation - they way we can create mental images when we read to deepen our understanding of the text.  We read a short passage that explained how to measure a very tall object without having to climb it and we visualise how we would do this.

Yesterday we went out and put this knowledge into practice.  My buddy Karmi and I measured one of the poles on the playground.  Using the method we measured 3.49 meters.  The actual height was 4.27 meters.
