How big is big?

Open ended number questions 
Piece of wool, can you find something as long as, taller, shorter, go round 
2 blocks in a year (week) to do comparing, weights, heights, lengths. Have diff stations but all focused on comparing and language 
Bring a teddy, how are we going to find out, language 
Children can choose what they want to measure, made a data card

Older students introduce area by providing squares for measuring. Post it notes. 
Can introduce the concept of area down lower levels.
Could do on grid paper too.
