The Gingerbread Man

We told the story of the Gingerbread Man and then based our work learning about length around the story.

First we found things in our classroom that were taller and shorter than the Gingerbread Man.

Next we built some bridges to help the Gingerbread Man get safely across the river. We tried to work out whose bridge was the longest. We decided to use the big ruler to help us.

After that we decided to use uni fix cubes to measure things around our classroom. Finally we had to try and make a bed for the Gingerbread Man that was 7 uni fix cubes long and 6 uni fix cubes wide. We worked out that we had to use the uni fix cubes to keep checking our beds were the correct size.
