Measuring with Nonstandard Units

The video tutorial teaches how to measure objects using nonstandard units like crayons and paperclips. It emphasizes the importance of using equally sized objects for accurate measurement. The tutorial demonstrates measuring a notebook and a picture using crayons, paperclips, and blocks, highlighting that smaller units require more items to measure the same length. It concludes by applying these concepts to determine the appropriate carrying case size for a telescope.

What is the relationship between the size of the measuring object and the number needed to measure a length?

How can you determine which carrying case is the best fit for the telescope?
