How many people can fit in a one metre square?



This term we are learning about measurement. On Wednesday the 21 of October Room 17 drew a one meter square to see how many people we could fit in a one meter square.

Before anyone got into the square we had to predict how many people would fit. Then we got people to stand in the square until it got full and we counted to see how many fit.

We tried this three times with different people. We did this to see whether the number changed with different people.

The first time we fit 17 people in the square. The second time 18 people fit in and the third time it was 17 again.

(Quinton's prediction of 16 people was the closest guess - everyone else thought it would be a lot less!!!!)
