Explanation:
Nonstandard measurement involves using a consistent unit (in this case, blocks) to measure the height or length of objects. By aligning the blocks with the objects and counting them, students can determine the measurements. This method helps develop an understanding of measurement concepts before introducing standard units like inches or centimeters.

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
7 & 6 & 5 \\
8 & 4 & 3 \\
6 & 4 & 5 \\
\end{array}
}
