Preschool Is a Ditto-free Zone

Dittos (copies made on a copier) are not to be used in preschool.
For this measurement activity, children made their own worksheets!
Starting with a blank piece of paper, each child either drew a picture or wrote the word for the item selected for measuring. Then he/she determined the length of each item using nonstandard units of measurement; for this activity they used unifix cubes. Finally, the length of each item was recorded on the page.



The result was that each child had his/her own unique worksheet! All without a ditto.
Just think - it all began with a blank piece of paper.
