- Abstract
When asked if any dinosaurs were shorter, many of our students shared that baby dinosaurs are small, but they still thought of all adult dinosaurs as large. Since our students' counting abilities varied, we decided to limit the investigation to having all learners measure the length of two dinosaurs: 4.5 meter Pachycephalosaurs, and 2 meter Velociraptor. Students were assigned to different stations and we helped students rotate so they all got to measure both dinosaur length tape lines. One of our students put it into these terms: "We used lots of different stuff to measure dinosaurs and big dinosaurs needed more stuff.".
