 * 1.MD.1** Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.

__**Student "I Can" Statements:**__
 * 1.MD.2** Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.


 * I can put three objects in order from longest to shortest and compare their lengths.
 * I can tell the length of an object using whole numbers.
 * I can show that I understand how to measure something by using a smaller object as a measurement tool.

__**Prerequisite Standards:**__


 * K.MD.2** Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. ||
 * __**Big Ideas:**__


 * Comparison and Relationships **

Numbers, expressions,measures, and objects can be compared and related to other numbers, expressions, measures, and objects in different ways.

Some attributes of objects are measureable and can be quantified using unit amounts.
 * Measurement **

Mathematics content and practices can be applied to solve problems. || __**Essential Questions:**__

 * How can objects be measured, compared, and ordered by length? ||
 * __**Students will know...**__


 * Objects can be compared and ordered by length.
 * Two objects can be compared indirectly by comparing both to a third object.
 * Measurement is a process of comparing a unit to the object being measured. The length of any object can be used as a measurement unit for length.
 * Different units can be used to measure length.
 * Some problems can be solved by reasoning about the condition in the problem.
