In this lesson, students will select an object in the classroom and talk about how they would measure the object.

For this assessment, students measure the length of their desk using a ruler and write to tell how long their desk is in inches. Measuring the desk a second time, students write how long their desk is in centimeters. Lastly, students write to explain whether there were more inches or more centimeters and why.

For this assessement task, students make reasonable estimates for different parts of their body and choose the meassurement tool they feel is best to use to measure their body parts. A scoring rubric is included.

In this assessment task, students use a ruler to measure their desk in inches then in centimeters.

In this assessment, students look at flashcards of different objects and ask questions about length and height.

In this assessment task the student will determine the length and height of a shape on a flashcard. They will be asked to use comparing words such as longer or shorter to tell about length of two rectangles. They will also be asked to use comparing words such as taller or shorter to tell about the height of two cans or cylinders. The 2 flashcards along with directions, a recording sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment, students use straws as guides to find objects around the room that are shorter or longer than the straw.

In this assessment task, students use straws to measure. Students are to find two objects around the room that measure shorter or longer than their straw. They are to draw that object and write the name of the object on the worksheet. If the drawing is unclear the teacher should ask the student to name the object. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students will hunt around the room to find objects that are the same length as the items on the assessment tasks. They are to find something that measures the same as lengths such as two square tiles a pencil or three post it notes. Students will draw and write the name of the object on the task sheet. The teacher should prepare the objects that students measure with prior to the assessment. An assessment task sheet and a rubric are provided.

For this assessement task, students estimate the measurement of labeled objects around the classroom and measure them using centimeters, inches, feet, or meters.

In this assessment task, students select their own measuring tools (and units) to measure various parts of their body.

For this assessment, students measure the length of a chart paper using a ruler and write to tell how long the chart paper is in inches. Measuring the chart paper a second time, students write how long he paper is in feet. Lastly, students write to explain why the measurements are different.

In this assessment task, students measure chart paper of different sizes in inches and feet, then discuss the results

For this assessment task, students solve a word problem using a drawing and an equation.

In this assessment task, students will solve a word problem using a drawing and an equation.

For this assessment, students must decide if there is more than one way to add up numbers.

In this assessment task, students us a band representation to show different way students can be organized in an array.

In this assessment, students use a flower representation to create arrays and write equations.

In this assessment task, students measure items using a variety of non-standard units of measurement.
