Non- Standard Measurement

Non-standard measurement uses everyday objects to measure length, like cubes or blocks.

'Longer' means something has more length than something else.

'Shortest' means something has the least length compared to others.

We count how many cubes it takes to match the length of the marker.

5 cubes is longer than 3 cubes.

We can compare lengths by placing them side by side or counting the units.

The snake measures 8 blocks from one end to the other.

The blue ribbon has more length than the red ribbon.

A cube is a small block used to measure length.

We say they are equal in length.
