Estimate and Measure Stage 1 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Students choose an object and a familiar unit to measure it with. They estimate the length of the object and then measure to see the actual length to the nearest whole unit.
Variation:
Students may use base-ten cubes and add the length of two objects to practice adding within 100.
Additional Information
Gather or identify objects of various lengths that are less than 20 units (pencils, markers, books, glue, scissors, shoe, tape dispenser, side of desk).
