Measurement- math lesson plans for early elementary grades

Using Cuisenaire rods, Unifix cubes or straws, measure the length of the child’s desk, a tall book, and the seat of a chair. Use paper clips to measure shorter objects. If you use rods of a different color or larger paper clips, would the answer be the same? Determine the weight of classroom objects using counters as nonstandard units and a balance. Estimate and then check to see how many counters balance the object.
