This medium sheet has first graders compare lengths and order objects using both standard and nonstandard units. Part A offers nine fill-in-the-blank problems like 'Pencil A is 5 inches, Pencil B is 7 inches, which is longer?' and finding how many paper clips shorter one item is. Part B is a matching activity linking phrases like measuring with a ruler or longest length to the correct unit type or inch value.
