Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...



Today students worked with measurement. Using three different size pails, students were asked to guess how many cups of water they thought would fill each pail. After making their best guess we then filled each pail with water and counted the number of cups. This was a great counting exercise. Students were able to practice counting on and logical thinking. For example, if the small bucket held 3 cups then the large pail must hold more than 3. Students were careful to make their best guess based on how many cups the smaller pail held.
