Four pages of nonstandard measurement with a fall theme. Each object stands next to a stack of acorns, and every acorn in the pack is the same size, so students count acorns to find how tall things are. Pages 1 and 2 measure, page 3 compares two objects, and page 4 puts three in order.
Start with real counters: stack cubes or real acorns next to a classroom object, then move to the worksheet. The compare and order pages lead into a whole-class talk about why the units must be the same size and touch end to end.
Count the acorns from the bottom up with your child. After the worksheet, measure a cup or a toy with coins or blocks the same way.
