Where the red line is located is the width of your hand - use this as your non- standard unit of measurement to estimate how long or how wide a particular object is. • Measure your hand with a ruler. Indicate this measurement. • Then identify 3 objects that you wish to estimate the width or length of. ● Measure each object using your hand. Indicate the measurement for each object that you have estimated using your hand. • Then actually measure each object with a ruler or tapeline. Indicate the actual measurement. How close are you? List any advantages/disadvantages to using this measuring technique.
