Answer key · Measure and compare lengths using non-standard units
- 1.14 — 8 + 6 = 14 paper clips.
- 2.5 — 3 + 2 = 5 craft sticks.
- 3.10 — 7 + 3 = 10 blocks.
- 4.7 — 12 − 5 = 7 craft sticks.
- 5.7 — 12 − 5 = 7 blocks.
- 6.4 — 6 − 2 = 4 craft sticks.
- 7.18 — Smaller units take more of them: 9 × 2 = 18 short blocks.
- 8.8 — Smaller units take more of them: 4 × 2 = 8 short blocks.
- 9.14 — Smaller units take more of them: 7 × 2 = 14 small tiles.
