The Enormous Crocodile

In maths we listened to the story of The Enormous Crocodile.

Year 2 had a problem to solve.

Did you know that Dwarf Crocodiles can grow up to 2 metres long? How else can we measure this length? We used non-standard units of measure to solve this problem (pom poms, spaghetti, pasta and cubes) We had to measure 2m usingour chosen unit.

The tricky bit was, Miss Groves only gave us 1 metre to measure with! That meant that we had to double our answer to find out how long 2m would be in our chosen unit.
