Length Measurement for 1st Grade Math
This unit introduces foundational concepts of length, including direct comparison, ordering objects, and measuring with non-standard units.
Skills and lessons
Comparing Length Directly
Students will directly compare the lengths of two objects to determine which is longer, shorter, or if they are the same length.
Ordering Objects by Length
Students will order three or more objects from shortest to longest or longest to shortest.
Measuring with Non-Standard Units
Students will measure the length of objects by iterating (repeatedly placing) a non-standard unit, such as paper clips or connecting cubes.
Indirect Measurement and Transitivity
Students will informally compare lengths of objects indirectly by using a third object as a benchmark, laying groundwork for transitivity.
