Express the length of an object as a whole number of lengths of another shorter object.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Identify the beginning and end point of the object that needs to be measured.
- Use objects (e.g., connecting cubes, paper clips) laid end to end with no gaps or overlaps, to measure length by counting the number of objects (e.g., cubes, clips) needed to measure the length of the object.
- Given 2 visual representations (ex: a picture of a pencil and a picture of five cubes) lined up end to end directly underneath the other, to show the visual length comparison, count the number of the shorter object (five cubes) to express the length of the larger object (pencil).

Cluster:
Describe and compare measurable attributes. (Additional Cluster) :
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
