Fun With Non-Standard Measurement Using Everyday Objects

The video tutorial introduces non-standard measurement, focusing on using objects like teddy bears, paperclips, and unifix cubes instead of traditional units like inches or feet. It outlines rules for non-standard measurement, such as using same-sized objects, starting at the edge, avoiding overlaps or gaps, and using any object for measurement. The tutorial provides examples of measuring items like scissors, erasers, and pencils with these objects, emphasizing estimation over exactness.

What is the main focus of non-standard measurement?

• Using objects like teddy bears and paperclips

• Using rulers and measuring tapes

• Using inches and feet

• Using digital measuring tools

Which of the following is a rule for non-standard measurement?
