When teaching measurement skills to young children provide lots of opportunities for the students to order objects by size. Incorporating everyday activities and experimenting with real objects help children understand measurement concepts. Measuring with non-standard units means measuring things with blocks, pencils, hands, feet, etc. As long as the items used to measure with are all the same size, e.g. identical blocks or brand new pencils, they are suitable to use. Measuring with standard units means measuring with inches, feet, yards, centimeters or meters, using rulers and other measuring devices.
