DRES Fourth Grade Measurement Olympics

In our DRES fourth grade Measurement Olympics, students participated in interactive and engaging activities that required them to apply their knowledge of how to measure length using rulers, yard sticks and tape measurers.

 Students measured distances in both customary (inches, feet, yards) and metric (centimeters, meters) units. Teams were created by grouping a student from each of the 4 different fourth grade homerooms.

They worked together to participate in activities such as the discus throw with paper plates, the shot put with cotton balls, the javelin throw with straws, car races, long jump and high jump.

          









The students were able to apply the concepts learned in the classroom to these events, and were excited and eager to work in teams.
