Using Cubes and Subtraction to Measure Differences in Length

The video tutorial teaches how to measure the difference between two objects using subtraction. It uses paperclips to compare the lengths of a rake and a shovel, demonstrating the importance of units touching end to end for accurate measurement. The tutorial also compares the width of a foot and a shoe using cubes, showing how to find the difference by subtracting the common part. The lesson concludes by emphasizing the use of subtraction to determine differences in measurement.
