About This Lesson
Children find the object in the classroom (you may have to use different pictures for objects in your classroom) and choose whether they will measure it using a meter stick or a ruler. They make an estimate, then measure. On the 2nd sheet students will choose their own objects from the classroom. Aligned with Common Core Standards: K.MD.1,2 Measurement and Data; 1.MD.2 Measurement and Data; 2.MD.1, 2.MD.4, Measurement and Data.
