Today in math, Gloria's lesson had a review on centimeters, meters and kilometers. The math book reminded us that, "If you took a big step, your step would be about 1 meter. . . If you took 1,000 big steps, you would walk about 1 kilometer." Gloria was very curious about just how far we would have to walk from our house before we reached 1 kilometer. We decided to find out. Instead of counting 1,000 steps, we chose to mark off 100 steps 10 times. To make it just a little more fun, we marked off our steps with a silly picture. Here we are on the front step where we started:
100 steps from home. . . :
200 BIG steps. . .
300 steps (I couldn't be too silly since we had to stop in front of a house where a man was washing his car. . . ):
400 steps:
500 steps (Ouch!):
600 steps:
700 steps (we are laying down in the entrance to a parking lot!!!):
800 steps:
900 steps:
1,000 BIG STEPS!!!!!:
It's hard work being that silly so we had to reward ourselves!!:
It was worth it. . .
I love math. . . and Diet Pepsi. . .
