Four by Four

his month in Math we are studying about everything using base-four measurement. We are making predictions about our calendar markers in Number Corner that regroup by fours from units, to strips, to mats. We are learning about liquid measurement using food coloring and visually seeing how 4 cups make a quart, and 4 quarts make a gallon. Finally, we are using base-four notation the way mathematicians do while we find minimal collections for the hands-on base-four pieces we use. It is amazing to see how many times we count by fours in our everyday life without even thinking about it!
