Last night you were asked to think about some non-standard units of measurement.
Do you remember in the video you watched the students measure the classroom using their bodies? This is an example of a non-standard unit of measurement.
In groups of 4, discuss what you came up with and some examples of non-standard units of measurement.
Once you have finished your discussion and shared your ideas, click on "non-standard units" below to see some examples of non-standard units of measurements (remember that these are not limited).
In your groups, click on "Cinnamon Scrolls" and complete only 3 estimation activities.
This activity will show the use of non-standard units for measuring length.

You have learnt that using non-standard units of measurement can be used to measure length.
In this lesson you will be using paperclips and blocks to estimate and measure objects that are found around the classroom.
You will be working in pairs for this activity.
Click on the "activity" below and follow the instructions on the first page.
You will be completing the activity directly from your computer.
Save the document as you go along and don't forget to print it out when you have finished!
Any questions?

Today you estimated and measured using non- standard units of measurement (paperclips and
blocks), so now its time to move on to measuring length using standard units of measurement.
Your activity tonight is to think of scaled instruments that are used to measure standard units of length.
You will report back your ideas in tomorrows lesson!
