Measuring Lengths with Cubes

This video tutorial teaches how to measure and compare the lengths of objects using non-standard units like paper clips and cubes. It emphasizes the importance of using consistent unit sizes for accurate comparison. Through examples, it demonstrates how to find the difference in length between objects, such as a toy car and a pencil, and a baseball bat and its cover. The tutorial concludes by reinforcing the concept of measuring differences in length using these methods.
