School: Conservatory Lab Charter School, Brighton, MA

3. Working in Small Groups

After this large group activity, the children broke up into smaller, randomly chosen groups of four to five children to reflect on their work so far.

Each group looked at a photo taken in the first part of the activity and answered one of four questions:

1. If measurement is math, why do you think this was a good activity for community time?


2. Do you see any similarities between music and measurement?


3. How is ?performance? in the classroom like ?performance? in the school concert?

4. What will be the next step in this activity?
