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.
