Thought I share something I used in class this year. After reading Jack and the Beanstalk we were working on measurement. I found a letter on Pinterest and adapted for my use. I made a recording sheet to go with it and several templates of the Giant's footprint. Student then found things that were longer, shorter and the same length as the Giant's footprint. Were their measurement exact? No, of course not! Did they get the idea of measurement? Yes, they did! With more practice their measuring will be more precise! Here's a link to my measurement pack TpT

Just found this post about bean counters on Dr. Jean's site. This would be a great non-standard measurement tool for this activity!
