Comparing Nonstandard Units of Measurement

The video tutorial explains how to measure an object using different nonstandard units, such as shoes and pens. It demonstrates measuring a scarf with shoes and then refining the measurement with pens for greater accuracy. The lesson highlights the importance of using smaller units for more precise measurements and compares the results obtained from different units.
