  3. TEKS for Grade 1 • §111.13. Mathematics, Grade 1. • (1.7) Measurement. The student directly compares the attributes of length, area, weight/mass, capacity, and temperature. The student uses comparative language to solve problems and answer questions. The student selects and uses nonstandard units to describe length. The student is expected to: • (A) estimate and measure length using nonstandard units such as paper clips or sides of color tiles; • (B) compare and order two or more concrete objects according to length (from longest to shortest); • (C) describe the relationship between the size of the unit and the number of units needed to measure the length of an object;

  4. Objectives Use pencils, paperclips, & pennies to measure various things around the classroom table top, book, door, computer monitor Classify which tool of measurement is better to measure on which object Create a graph representing the measurements you have taken Discuss how using other methods of measurements can be used
