Objective
Students will compare and estimate lengths using non-standard and standard units (ex: measuring with paperclips, handspans, or rulers).
Arts Integration
Dance – Students will create and perform short movement sequences that represent different lengths and measurements (ex: "small jumps" vs. "big jumps").
Assessment
Students will describe their movement choices and measure different objects to show their understanding of measurement concepts.
