Last week we dove into non-standard measurement! It was a lot of fun, thanks to my buddy Reagan, and her sweet little pack! To introduce the concept, I showed Reagan's posters and we discussed them together. Next, I put up a little poster with some farm-themed graphics {we just finished up learning about the farm not long ago!} and we measured them together with sticky dots. It's times like these when I really wish I had an interactive white board! I've learned to become very resourceful over the past 10 years without much technology. Next up, we watched a Brain Pop Jr. on non-standard measurement.
Next, it was time to dive into measuring! Each table had a bag of school supply pictures to measure. They also all had a basket of manipulatives to measure with. These free cards are from Amanda over at First Grade Garden.
Day two, we reviewed the previous day's learning and measured some more! I have 5 tables in my room {clusters of desks} and each table had a different "unit" to measure with, but everyone had the same objects...this made for great discussion! The recording sheets and unit cards are from Reagan at Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits. This was a lot of fun! We did this type of activity for two days.

To end our unit, we read some fun books that I got from a book order. This was one and there was another...I can't remember what it was called, but something similar. We also completed a quick-check assessment on non-standard measurement from my "Math Quick Checks" pack, shown below. I love these for an assessment in a snap!
