How Homework Should Really Look (If we can’t get rid of it let’s change it!)
When I had the 5 dice game to the point of beta testing, my first app that I created. To see how user friendly my new app was, I had to find a somewhat technologically illiterate guinea pig so I asked my father to play the game.

100 Days Of School Activity – 100 Things
100 Days Of School Activity Asher’s 100 Things…
Measuring a Friend {Measurement Activity}
Have a student come to the front of the classroom and as a class, predict the length of his or her arms, legs or ears. Group students into groups of three and explain that each students should help to measure others and should measure himself or herself.
Measurement Olympics {Measurement Activity}
Students will use their measurement skills to determine which student will receive the gold metal. Review with students the best way to measure length, width and height.
Set up stations where students will measure to determine who can jump the farthest, run the fastest (measuring time!), throw the farthest and jump the highest.
Directions for a Drawing Game {Measurement Activity}
Have each student draw a picture using a ruler, drawing only straight, vertical and horizontal lines. On a separate piece of paper, they should mark one endpoint of each line with a dot and a letter.
So, the second paper should have several dots accompanied by letters, but nothing else. Students then need to write out directions for another student to draw the picture using the dots given.
Estimate to the Nearest Inch {Measurement Activity}
Begin by reviewing a ruler projected on a screen, showing students both sides of the ruler and noting that one edge shows inches while the other shows centimeters. Tell them they will be measuring with the inches side of the ruler today. Have students estimate in inches how long a strip of paper you hold up might be.
Discovering Volume {Measurement Activity}
Students will need a large number of 1” cubes (wooden or plastic), a collection of various sizes of boxes (cereal, tea, crackers, etc.), rulers, pencils and paper.
Put students into pairs and give each pair two different sized boxes. Students will use the cubes to measure volume. This is a great way to introduce a unit on volume. Students will follow these directions projected on the overhead screen:
