Measurement (Non-Standard Units)

How do your first grade students' math skills measure up? Try out this interactive measurement activity from iKnowIt.com to practice measurement with non-standard units with your class! In this online math game, students will practice the following skills:

• Measure objects against non-standard units
• Measure lengths indirectly and iterate length units
• Order three objects by length
• Compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object

Here are a few examples of the types of questions your students may be asked in this interactive math activity: "Fill in the blank with the correct answer. The scissors are [blank] paperclips long." "How many jellybeans long is the straw?" "Fill in the blank with the correct answer. The bird's nest is [blank] blocks long." Questions in this first grade measurement game are presented in fill-in-the-blank format and multiple-choice format.

Students will discover many helpful tools built right into their math practice sessions on "I Know It." Here are some of the math lesson features that will help your students make the most out of their measurement practice with non-standard units:

• Hint button – Students can click the hint button when they need a little extra help solving a math problem. The hint will show them a written or pictorial clue that will help them measure length with non-standard units without giving away the answer.
• Explanation page – When students get an answer wrong, a detailed explanation page will appear on their practice screen to show them the right answer accompanied by an easy-to-understand explanation.
• Progress-tracker – Students can check out the progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of their practice screen to see how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the math lesson.
• Score-tracker – Students can take a look at the score-tracker to gauge how many points they have earned for correct responses.
• Read-aloud button – Students can click the speaker icon in the upper-left corner of the practice screen to hear the question read out loud to them in a clear voice. This feature is an excellent resource for ESL/ELL students and children who are auditory processors.

Each of these online math lesson features was carefully developed to help your first grade students achieve math practice success.
