Description
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use yarn to measure lengths such as arm span and height. This gives the students practice measuring with nonstandard units. Pairs of students also compare their height and arm spans. They develop problem-solving and reasoning skills by discussing why there are similarities and differences between the lengths of yarn that represent arm spans and height.
