Card 2Non-standard Units

Riya measured her bed with her palm and got 15 palms. Her brother got 12 palms. Why are the answers different?

Answer

Because their palms are of different sizes. Non-standard units like palm, hand span, or foot vary from person to person. So, same object can have different measurements.

Card 3Arbitrary Units

Use paper clips to measure the length of your pencil. How many paper clips long is it?

Answer

Step 1: Line up paper clips from one end of the pencil to the other. Step 2: Make sure they are touching but not overlapping. Step 3: Count the number of paper clips. Example: My pencil is 10 paper cl…

Card 4Comparing Lengths

Which is longer — a table that is 5 pencils long or a book that is 4 pencils long?

Answer

The table is longer because 5 pencils > 4 pencils. When using the same unit (pencil), we can compare lengths directly.

Card 5Estimating with Units

A book is 8 erasers long. If one eraser is about 5 cm, how long is the book in cm?

Answer

Step 1: 1 eraser ≈ 5 cm. Step 2: 8 erasers = 8 × 5 = 40 cm. So, the book is about 40 cm long.

Card 6Consistent Units

Why can't we use a matchstick and a pencil together to measure the same object?

Answer

Because they are different in length. To measure correctly, we must use the same unit throughout. Mixing units gives wrong answers.

Card 7Arbitrary Units

Measure your maths book using crayons. How many crayons long is it?

Answer

Step 1: Place one crayon at the edge of the book. Step 2: Add more crayons end-to-end. Step 3: Count how many crayons fit. Example: My book is 4 crayons long.

Card 8Unit Size and Measurement

A table is 6 pencils long. If your friend uses a shorter pencil, will the measurement be more or less?

Answer

More. If the pencil is shorter, you need more of them to cover the same length. So, the number will be higher.
