Measuring length using non-standard units means we use everyday objects like paperclips, blocks, or even our hands to see how long something is. Instead of using rulers with centimeters or inches, we count how many of these objects fit along the length of what we're measuring. It's a fun way to understand length and compare different objects!
Match the word with its correct definition:
| Word | Definition |

| 3. Measure | C. To find the size or amount of something |
| 4. Non-Standard | D. An object used to find a measurement |
| 5. Tool | E. Not using standard units like inches or centimeters |
