--- title: "Measuring Madness!" url: "https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2016-02-12-17-07-06-measuring-madness" school: "Gillibrand Primary School" --- # Measuring Madness! ![Image of Measuring Madness!](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/blog/DSCN0428.JPG) 12 February 2016 [Class of 2014](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/category/class-of-2014) We have been using a range of fruit and vegetables this week to compare and measure their weights. One group had the difficult challenge of ordering 13 fruits and vegetables from lightest to heaviest using one balance scale! Other groups compared 3 or 4 fruits. Later we used cubes to estimate the weight of fruit before measuring their weight using the cubes. Mr Higgins is going to have a hearty, healthy half term eating all those fruit and vegetables! ### Maths Measurement in Year 1 [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0422.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0422.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0423.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0423.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0424.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0424.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0425.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0425.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0426.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0426.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0427.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0427.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0428.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0428.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/DSCN0429.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/DSCN0429.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0218.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0218.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0219.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0219.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0220.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0220.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0221.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0221.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0222.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0222.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0223.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0223.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0224.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0224.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0225.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0225.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0226.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0226.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0227.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0227.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0228.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0228.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/5787/IMG_0229.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/5787/IMG_0229.JPG) [ Measures](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2016-02-12-17-06-49-measures) [Pancake Day ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2016-02-12-17-07-32-pancake-day) ### Our School -
