Non-standard units of measure by Gabby

WALT - use non-standard measures to find the area of the shape.
Today, Room 5 were learning about non-standard units of measure. I know I have learnt about non standard units of measure because our shape was  the same shape like the other shapes but our body wasn't the same sizes. This is called an area.


In this photo we made a shape and an estimation of how many students could fit sitting down inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using ourselves. This is a non-standard unit of measure. A non-standard unit is the same objects but not the same sizes.                                        

In this photo we put ourselves inside  the shape. Our estimation was three,  but our estimation was wrong. The right estimation was eight. Only eight students  students could fit inside the shape.
