Maths - Measurement - non standard units

This week we have been measuring things with,

cubes, paperclips, rods, and dice.

Actually, you can measure with anything as long as it is the same size.

You need to start measuring at the beginning and stop at the end.

And you need to make sure that there are no gaps.

When you measure like this, we call the things we measure with - 

non-standard units.

Here we are practicing this with numeracy cubes.

Now we are practising with paper clips and dice.

We can even measure with our feet!
