Big Ideas
- The length measurement of an object depends on the size of the unit used.
- Measurement can vary when different standard or nonstandard units are used to measure the same object.
Essential Questions
- How does the size of the unit you use change the measurement of an object?
- Why do the measurements of the same object differ when we use different units?
- What happens if you measure a pencil with a paperclip and then with a crayon?
- How do you decide which unit to use when measuring length?
- Why is it important to use the same unit throughout a measurement?
