This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  In this lesson, partners use both centimeters and inches to measure objects to develop their understanding of the relationship between the length of a unit and the resulting measurement. With teacher guidance, they will solidify their understanding that the objects themselves do not change when measured using different units. Students should have had multiple experiences measuring using standard units before attempting this lesson.

Which fish move where? In this fun interactive, students help move fish to their new homes (a small fish tank or a big fish tank) by using measurement.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Matt, Digit and Slider must create an exact copy of a large ring in order to activate a powerful force and foil Hacker. To make sure the copy they make is perfect, they have to know what the ?radius? of a circle is and figure out a way to carefully measure it. Teaching tips are also provided that discuss frame, focus and follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.

For this assessment, students assessed on their ability to measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate measuring tools.
