Nonstandard Measurement

Today I will be teaching how to use non-standard measurement. I will go over certain rules for using nonstandard measurement. Then I will show some examples.

3:03 ok so the sizes of teddy bears vary greatly from around like 13-47cm when sitting and 16-56cm when standing so they would still make the pair of scissors look huge none the less
4:12 unifix cubes are usually nearly 2cm x 2cm x 2cm (or 0.8in x 0.8in x 0.8in) not including the stud, so that would make the eraser 10cm (or 4 in.) in length, which is slightly above average (5-6.35cm or 2-2.5in)
5:05 paperclips are usually 1.375 inches (or 3.49cm) long, so that would make the pencil 6.875in (or 17.46cm) long, which is also below average (7.5in or 19cm) but still makes sense if its used
5:53 just like with the first one, if we're using the average teddy bear as a unit, it would still make objects like this book look ridiculously large compared to what we're normally accustomed to seeing in person

I liked the way you presented the expectation of measuring objects using non-standard measuring tools. Your expression in your teaching voice was engaging.
