options: Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.

Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Task
You will need various items to measure, a large set of cubes such as unifix or snap cubes, and a recording sheet with 4 sections. In each section would be the words: _______ cubes long with enough space for a small drawing. The students work in pairs. They choose an item to measure. First they line up the cubes along the longest side of the item. They count and record the number on the first line in the first section. They draw a picture of the item they measured. They continue same routine 3 more times with different items.
