Using Long Jump to Teach Measurement

This week we used the long jump to teach about measurement. For 1st and 2nd grade we introduced the concept of measuring. For 3rd grade we had the students measure their long jump. We discussed converting the inches to feet and feet to inches. For 4th and 5th grade we had the students measure the long jump and convert the measurement to inches. They will also find the average of the 3 jumps.
