Are you looking for a hands-on template to help students make and use an informal unit tape measure?
Students cut out and join copies of the shoe length template to create a paper strip tape measure, then use it to measure fixed objects around the room and compare their lengths without needing to move them. Using a consistent unit reinforces why repeated uniform units make measuring and comparing easier. Pair with Informal Tape Measures - Comparing Lengths of Fixed Objects Worksheet for added activity!
Includes a shoe length unit template - cut out and join multiple copies to build a paper strip tape measure.
