Estimating lengths & distances

This lesson is designed to help students estimate lengths using standard and metric units of measure. They will participate in a teacher-guided activity, estimating then measuring how far a ball rolls on 3 different surfaces. They will also estimate then measure about 10 items that are found around the classroom. While they are estimating and measuring, they have to decide what unit of measure is best suited for the specific object.
