Dear Parents,

We will begin our next unit of study in math soon. The information below will serve
as an overview of the unit as you work to support your child at home. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me. I appreciate your on-going support.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gearing

Unit Name:
Nonstandard Measurement
Common Core State Standards:
1.MD.1 Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third
object.
1.MD.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a
shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the
number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object
being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.

Essential Vocabulary:

Compare
First
Gap
Height
Length

Less
Longer Than
Measure
More

Order
Overlap
Second
Shorter Than
Third

Unit Overview:
Students develop an understanding of the meaning and processes of measurement, including underlying
concepts such as iterating (the mental activity of building up the length of an object with equal-sized
units) and the transitivity principle (using a third object for comparing two objects) for indirect
measurement.

Strategies/Skills:
In this unit, First Grade Students will:
Use direct comparison to compare lengths.
Use a third object to indirectly compare lengths between two objects.
Compare and order a set of objects by length, utilizing their knowledge of sequencing.
Focus on an attribute being measured, and select an appropriate nonstandard tool to measure that
object.
