Non-Standard Units: Compare

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity where students compare the height of objects by counting blocks. Designed for early years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Use non-standard units (blocks) to measure the height of objects.
  • Compare the height of different objects using terms like taller and shorter.
  • Develop measurement and comparison skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students will count the number of blocks tall each object is and then use the words "taller" or "shorter" to compare pairs of objects. This activity encourages students to explore non-standard measurement while practising comparison skills in a fun and interactive way.
