I love teaching nonstandard measurement! We measured everything you can think of with a variety of different tools this week!! I made a couple of new printables for our lil' measurement masters!!
Measure It!
Let your students pick a measurement tool (cubes, counters, dominoes, craft sticks, etc. all work well) & estimate/measure 5 objects in your classroom. Here are a few pictures of the fun....

Measure a Friend!
We all know how much our kids love partner activities!! My loves had so much fun measuring their friend/partner! No pics of this activity because we were all so busy....and yes, I was also on the floor being measured. ME=BIG kid!

What do YOU do to have fun teaching nonstandard measurement?!?!
On another note, several of you have asked about my plans for future math journals and centers. I love making these resources and plan to continue to make them throughout the year!!
I just posted my Fall Math Journal Prompts- Vol.2! 
And....my Christmas center packet is in the works!!
I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!

Oh, I can't wait for Holly Jolly! My kids LOVE your activities. I think they are wonderful too. I'm ready to start getting them ready for December. Thank you!!!!
Thanks SO much!!! I will have it ready in about a week!! It's one of my favorites:)
Thanks! Love the measurement activities
I can't wait for Holly Jolly! I LOVE doing these journal prompts - of course we don't get to all of them, but I'll have you know - that even my 2nd graders have a hard time with some of them - they really struggle explaining their thinking (whether it's math, or any other subject), which is why I LOVE these even though they are for 1st graders :)
Thanks for sharing! I too cant wait for your Christmas centers! I just LOVE your stuff.
Hi Anna! I love the math journal idea. I am getting ready to get those going in my math class. I just started doing guided math and I am really loving it. Just wondering if you know of anyone who makes prompts for the upper grades...or do you have some? If you don't...would you mind if I worked on something like that? I teach high math to second graders (so third graders.) Thanks!
