Description: Are you looking for ways to support measurement during distance learning? Students will use non-standard measurement to determine length. Each slide includes two objects and students will be asked to measure which is shorter or longer. Students are asked to compare objects that are both aligned and not aligned. This lesson aligns to Zearn, Eureka, and Engage NY math! CCSS Correlations: Describe and compare measurable attributes. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.MD.A.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.MD.A.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.A.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.A.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
