I love teaching measurement. It’s so hands-on and, well, that just makes it more fun. Student explorations quickly lead to many “Aha!” moments of discovery. One of my favorite parts of teaching math!

⭐ Experiences Measuring with Non-Standard Units

Making sure your students have many experiences measuring with non-standard units is extremely important. Those experiences will help students understand the measurement of space. They will anchor the thinking behind beginning the measurement of an object at zero instead of one – a common mistake.

When students measure with color tiles, blocks, teddy bear counters, and other manipulatives, they are placing the units as they measure. They do not count “1” until the unit that occupies the space is placed – Perfect for developing understanding!
