Let’s Measure

Count to 100. Practise thirteen / thirty, fourteen / forty and fifteen / fifty. We use numbers to count, measure and tell the time. 4:00 is four o’clock.

Circle, square, triangle, rectangle, heart. Describe their colour and size: a big red circle, a little blue square. Rows go across; columns go down. Look for what repeats in a pattern.

In the book, people in Ancient Egypt used fingers, hands and arms. People in Ancient Rome used footsteps. People have different-sized hands and steps, so their answers can differ. A ruler measures in centimetres.

Try it: measure a table with your hands. Say “It is ___ hands long.” Ask an adult to try too.

go → went · see → saw · eat → ate · think → thought · draw → drew · make → made · say → said · feel → felt. Regular verbs: look → looked; laugh → laughed.

“What did you see?” “I saw a lion.” Use the base verb after did / didn’t: “Did you go?” “I didn’t go.” Short answers: “Yes, I did.” / “No, I didn’t.”

one / won · two / to / too · four / for · eight / ate. These words sound the same but have different meanings. “I ate eight grapes.” “These four apples are for you.”
