Jump and Measure
How can we measure how far we jumped?
We could use our feet to measure how many footsteps we jumped forward.
Start at the starting point.
Put one foot in front of the other, touching heel to toe.
Count how many footsteps you take to reach the marked landing spot.
Shall we use child feet or grown-up feet to measure?
How many footsteps forward did you jump?
Maybe you could use your hands to measure next.
How many hands did you jump?
Or do you have measuring tools at home?
Maybe a ruler, or a tape measure?
How can we use these tools to measure how far we jumped?
