Adorable Weiner Dog Non-Standard Measurement Activity




Non-Standard measurement is a vital building block for more specific measurement skills; however most published curriculums skim over this topic... dedicating only one or two lessons to this topic. I've created the fun and interactive center activity to allow students to practice their non-standard measurement skills using paper clips, unified cubes, or whatever item you have handy. I designed this center to be completed individually, with a partner, or with a small group and should require minimal teacher monitoring! Plus, there is a recording sheet to keep students accountable during the activity. I have used this adorable activity for several years in my classroom and my students absolutely love it! You can find this activity in my TeachersPayTeachers store!


Print the 12 weiner dog cards on cardstock and laminate for durability. Instruct students how to line up the paper clips or unified cubes at the nose of the weiner dog and measure to the end. Students record the number of paper clips or unified cubes on their recording sheets.



Happy measuring!
