Maybe add a way to assess the students
Lesson meets CCSS 1.MD.2. Using unfix cubes are great way to measure using non-standard units. It links together to make it easier to not have any gaps. Commentary provides a guide of what students need to do to measure using non-standard units. Blackline masters are provided but not necessary. Students should be able to measure anything they want.
Students are exposed to measuring objects in the classroom using non standard units of measurement. Commentary includes ideas on how to differentiate for a variety of learners.
Copy of handout for activity is not included. However, pictures are provided to generalize what materials look like. You will need to create your own materials based on items selected for students to measure. If items to measure are selected with 1st grade students interest in mind, students will be focused/engaged as they practice building understanding of this standard.
Based on the comment/evaluation attached to this activity, perhaps this activity was initially intended for kindergarten then was found that it was more aligned with 1st grade standards.
