# Mind stretching measuring

  ![Image of Mind stretching measuring](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/image(375).jpg)  26 February 2016   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 2 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-2-blog)

We have combined our knowledge of calculating the difference on a number line with finding the difference between the length of two objects. Some of us found basic measurement using standard units ( cm ) very pesky, if you can support this area of development at home through practical contexts it would be very much appreciated. The children have been set the challenge of measuring objects and calculating the difference as extra learning over the weekend.
