Grade 1
Measure length with equal nonstandard units
I can measure an object with equal nonstandard units, compare the same object with two different unit lengths, and explain why the counts differ even though the object length stays the same.

Grade 1 Interaction Studio
Measure length with equal nonstandard units
Try the controls
Same object, two unit sizes
8 small cubes
4 larger craft sticks
Smaller units need more to cover the same object. Larger units need fewer.
The pencil is still the same length, but it measures 8 small cubes and 4 larger craft sticks because the unit sizes differ.
Guided steps
Step 1 of 3- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
Read the goal: measure one object with two different unit lengths and notice both counts.
Your studio challenge
Measure the same object with small cubes and larger craft sticks, compare both counts, and explain why the numbers differ even though the object length stays the same.
