Comparing and Measuring

Students explore the concepts and of comparing and measuring. The lessons are based on a developmental sequence of three activities: comparing, matching, and measuring. Initially, lengths are compared.

The students make the transition from matching to measuring length by quantifying nonstandard units of measure, discovering that it can produce varied results.

Finally, students use standard units of measure, such as Unifix® cubes and measuring strips, to measure height, width, and distance. Students begin to understand key measuring concepts, such as using beginning and ending points, a common starting line, and standard units of measure.
