*comparing objects to see which is longer or shorter
*using indirect measurement to compare objects (i.e. Using a ruler to measure to objects to see which is longer/shorter)
*measuring objects using standard and non-standard units (cubes, straws, paper clips, and inches.
One of our measurement adventures was to measure a friend using two different units. The students learned that the units needed to be touching so there were no gaps. They also discovered that the smaller the unit, the bigger the measurement was because it took more of them.
