This worksheet is about
nonstandard measurement, where students measure the height or length of various winter-themed objects using a
nonstandard unit—in this case, small square blocks (like building blocks or cubes) that are used as a reference.
Each object is compared to a vertical stack of these blocks, and the number of units (blocks) that match the height or length of the object is recorded.
Let’s go through each image and verify the measurements:
---
🔹 Top Row:
1.
Snowman
- The snowman reaches up to
8 blocks high.
✔ Answer:
8 units

📌 Explanation:
In nonstandard measurement, we use everyday objects (like blocks, paper clips, etc.) to measure length or height instead of rulers with inches or centimeters. This helps young learners understand measurement concepts before introducing standard units.
The key here is to count how many blocks align with the height or length of the object. For example:
- Vertical stacks show height.
- Horizontal bars show width or length.
This worksheet encourages estimation, counting, and comparison skills.
✔ All answers are already filled in correctly — no corrections needed!
