Discovering Math:

Measurement• Watch the KLRN video segment: Example 1: Distance-

Inches, Feet and Yards• Fill out the paper, Choose the Appropriate Unit Chart.

Identify five objects that would be measured in inches, five objects that would be measured in feet, and five objects that would be measured in yards and record the objects in the chart. Then identify the appropriate unit of measurement for each object. Estimate each object’s length using that unit of measurement. Use a ruler, tape measure, or yardstick (as appropriate) to find the actual lengths. Third/
