Once your little ones know how to count from 1 to 10, it’s best to vary your counting activities to keep them engaged and interested.

One of the best ways to bolster their counting skills is by having measurement non-standard unit activities.

What is Measurement Non-Standard Unit?

As adults, we measure things using rulers or tapes with fixed values, such as inches or centimeters. But for kids, we measure things using other things—this is called measurement in nonstandard units.

For example, you can measure a book using an eraser. How many erasers is the book long?

Or measure a pencil using cotton balls. How many cotton balls are the length of the pencil?

To help busy parents and teachers like you, I’ve created a cute measurement nonstandard unit packet filled with nonstandard rulers and things to measure.

Here, let me show you a sneak peek of them.

You will get 60 measurement cards. They are cute school supplies that you can find easily.

You will also get nonstandard rulers: teddy bear ruler, chains ruler, and cube ruler.

Cut out these rulers and laminate them if you wish.

Then, have your kids measure the things on the measurement cards using these rulers.

You can also use other things to measure (not necessarily using our non-standard ruler)

For example, use buttons to measure the school supplies.

Let’s take a look at the below example.

Easy peasy.

There are also recording sheets for your kids to record the measurements of each other things they measured.

So much fun for strengthening their counting skills and measurement skills.
