Today we
gave students this prompting question:
Combien de cubes mesure la citrouille?
We prompted them to look at the cubes as well as at the
height of the pumpkin to make an estimation of how many cubes it would take
to equal the height of the pumpkin (l'hauteur).
We estimated how many cubes it would take to measure our
pumpkin, then we tested our theories. We
found that our pumpkin measured 17 cubes tall.
We looked back at our answers to see which guesses were trop grand (too
big) and which guesses were trop petit (to small). We found that Serena was right on. Bravo Serena!
We added the cubes
and counted them in French as we went.
Your child should be able to count 10 objects (moving them one at a
time) all in French. Tonight give your
child 10 objects and ask them to show you how they count in French. Be sure to say BRAVO when they do a great
job!
Here are our estimations and our conclusions.
Next we looked at the circumference of the pumpkin. We decided to measure it with string.
Some of us thought that the pumpkin was bigger around than
it is tall.
The rest of the class guessed that the pumpkin was smaller
around than it is tall.
Use the pictures above to discuss what we found.
