Exploring Concepts:

Have students get out several items from their desk. A piece of paper, a marker, a folder, and an

item of their choice.

Initiating Learning:

Have students measure the items they chose with a form of standard measurement.

Have students measure their items with a non standard measurement.

Organizing, Experimenting and Analyzing:

Have the students record each finding in a t-chart on the chalkboard. Orally discuss similarities

and differences in the findings.

Understanding and Extending:

Have the students make a graph that shows the difference between the items when using standardmeasurement and nonstandard measurement.
