Tuesday in the kitchen: Maths Week!

Today we looked at Measurement in the kitchen..

We had estimations- or really good guesses then used the equipment to check...

We then made popcorn and used it to measure which container could hold the most in it.

We were surprised that a piece of paper the same size could be made into different shapes to hold different amounts.  Check out our group photos.
