Format
1. Mrs. Claus welcome - overview of lesson!
2. Toys in the workshop comparison/measurement activities.
3. Breakout group session (collaboration time with peers and classroom).

Objectives
The participant will...
- Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
- 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.
-Measure the length of an object by selecting the appropriate tools
-Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements.
-Describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.

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 contents where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
2MD1
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using the appropriate tools, such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
2MD2
Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
