Measurement Scavenger Hunt

After students have become familiar with units of measurement, have students work in pairs or groups of three. Assign each group a unit of measurement of length. (I have used a variety such as, one centimeter, one meter, one foot, one inch. As well as more challenging thinking with 5 centimeters, 12 inches, 2 feet, etc.) And of course, more than one group can have the same unit of measurement. Students record what their assigned measurement is on the paper. They really like this activity.
