Recycling Truck Craft | Measuring | Nonstandard Unit of Measurement | Earth Day
Celebrate Earth Day with math tied right into the fun! As you explore measurement, students practice using recycling bags as nonstandard units of measurement to measure a recycling truck. Measure during math centers or a whole-group lesson in preschool, kindergarten, or first grade. Students might verbally answer measurement questions; you might also compare the measurements during your activity. To challenge students, they write how many recycling bags high/wide objects are on the included sheet. To prepare, students might color and cut craft pieces for a fun fine motor and visual-spatial activity during morning work or center time. Note that a coloring option is included as well.
