Are you looking for a recording sheet to help students measure and compare the lengths of fixed objects using informal units?
Students measure fixed objects around the room using their shoe-length tape measure, then measure the same objects using a second informal unit of their choice and record both results side by side. Comparing two sets of measurements reinforces the understanding that different units produce different numbers for the same length. Best paired with the Informal Tape Measures - Shoe Length Unit Template for the template needed to make the tape measure.
What's included:
2 recording sheets with pre-listed objects: board, bookshelf, window, door, cupboard, mat
3 open-ended recording templates — students draw and label their chosen object, then record measurements using both units
