About This Lesson

Explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions! Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement;
Sample Learning Goals
•Estimating Length: guess the number of small line segments that can fit into a longer line segment.
•Estimating Area: guess the number of flat square or circles that can fit into a larger flat square or circle.
•Estimating Volume: guess the number of cubes or spheres that can fit into a larger cube or sphere.<br />CCSS alignment: 1.MD.2, 2.MD.1, 2.MD.2, 2.MD.3, 2.MD.4, 3.MD.4, 5.MD.3

Standards

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.
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimeters, and meters.
Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units—whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
