Teaching guide
What students learn
Measure the length of an object by lining up same size units end to end and counting them.
How to teach it
Compare objects directly (line them up at one end) and by measuring with informal units, blocks or paperclips placed end to end with no gaps, then compare the counts.
Worked example
The book is 4 paperclips long. The crayon is 9 paperclips long. Which is shorter?
Answer: book
Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.
Watch out for
Not starting both objects from the same line, and leaving gaps or overlaps between informal units so the count is off.
