Encourage the children to measure classmates using large cardboard blocks in the block center. Record their measurements on sticky notes and place the sticky notes on a class chart. Ask them to refer to the chart and estimate how many blocks tall the teacher or another classmate will be. Say, “If Constance is 12 blocks tall, about how many blocks tall do you think Alex is?” Count the number of blocks and compare the estimates.
