This is a one-time class to learn about different types of measurement, using our stuffed animals. (Stuffies). (We will mainly focus on length and width). We will talk about different tools used for measurement, for example, we will use a tape measure and also string and a ruler (non-traditional tools) to measure parts of our stuffed animals. We will record our findings on a table, and compare our results with other students. The main focus will be on trying to measure accurately by always making sure we begin at zero. We will have some time to show-and-tell our stuffies too.
Learning Goals
Students will become familiar with how a tape measure and a ruler work. The main goal is knowing where to start with a measuring tool to ensure accurate results.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from University of Northern Colorado
Hello! I am MarySue Gulick. (Ms. MarySue for learners). My journey on Outschool has evolved into mainly one-on-one tutoring. I love taking math further with enrichment activities, and also take learners wherever they are developmentally and move them forward. I love language arts too, and will tutor both reading and writing upon request.
I had a Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education, with an Endorsement in Gifted Education. My Master's Degree is in Gifted Education from the University of Northern Colorado. My Bachelor's degree is in Elementary Education from the University of Central Florida. I taught in both Florida and Colorado for a total of 23 years.
The majority of my classroom teaching was in self-contained gifted classrooms, from first to fourth grades. I "retired" from teaching at the end of May, 2019. Now I'm enjoying sharing some lessons my students and I loved with learners on Outschool! My teaching philosophy is to make sure my content is engaging and fun for students, and they will learn!
Personally, my husband and I have been married since we were teenagers, we have two kids, and we now have two awesome grandkids. We love to camp in our motorhome named Margot, and we spend part of the summer in Northern Michigan, where we both grew up. I am looking forward to meeting your learner!Reviews
