Grade 2 · Measuring with Different Units
How many small units?
Count every small unit from end to end.
Measuring one length with different-size units changes the count. Smaller units require more repetitions than larger units.
A strip covered by 8 small blocks may need only 4 blocks that are twice as long. The strip itself has not changed.
Compare unit sizes as well as the numbers of units.
