CONFIDENTIAAL 1 Good Afternoon! Today we will be learning about Customary units of length Let’s warm up : Add: 1) ) Subtract: 3) )

CONFIDENTIAAL2 Non-standard units of measure give approximate dimensions of an object. Customary units of measurement are the non-standard units. The system of measurement used in the United States is called the Customary system of measurement. Like, we can say that: The desk is as long as 6 of my hands. Today we will learn about the Customary units of measure for length.

CONFIDENTIAAL3 Try This!  Use your hands to find the length of the computer Table.  Use your palm to find the length of your book.

CONFIDENTIAAL4 History Let us see the history of discovery of units of measurement. The Egyptians have evidence that proves that they may be the earliest civilization that discovered a standard unit for length. The Greeks used the width of 16 fingers to find one foot.

CONFIDENTIAAL5 The Romans adopted the foot from the Greeks and divided it into 12 sections which was called UNICAE, which came to be known as an inch. The yard was adopted by King Henry I in the 12th century. Many years ago, the US accepted this standard of measurement from London into our customary system.

CONFIDENTIAAL6 LENGTH: is a measure how long something is from end to end. For example: The length of my arm is 18 inches. Everyday objects are used as units of measure. It can be used to measure length, height and width.

CONFIDENTIAAL7 HEIGHT: The measurement of distance from bottom to top. For example: Her height is 68 inches. For example: The width of the stripe is 2 inches. WIDTH: The measurement of distance from side to side.

CONFIDENTIAAL8 Explore Customary Length to ¼ inch.  An inch (in.) is used to measure short lengths in the customary system.  You can use a ruler, yardstick or tape to measure in inches. CRAYON STEP 1: Place the ruler against one edge of the object. Line up the zero on the ruler with one end of the object.

CONFIDENTIAAL9 Measure the object to the closest inch. Use half-inch marks to help you decide which inch mark is closest to the end of the object. STEP 2: Measure the object to the closest half-inch. Use quarter- inch marks to help you decide which half-inch mark is closest to the end of the object. STEP 3: CRAYON

CONFIDENTIAAL10 Measure the object to the closest inch. Use the eight-inch marks to help you decide which quarter-inch mark is closest to the end of the object. STEP 4: CRAYON

CONFIDENTIAAL11  The foot (ft) and yard (yd) are used to measure larger units in the customary system. 1 yd 1 ft

CONFIDENTIAAL12 When measuring length in the customary system the common units used are inches, feet, yards, and miles. From smallest to greatest length measurements are compared as: InchesFeetYardsMiles People use "feet" to measure their height.

CONFIDENTIAAL13 The units of measure in the customary system are: Customary System LENGTH 1 foot (ft)=12 inches (in.) 1 yard (yd)=3 feet 1 yard=36 inches 1 mile=1,760 yards 1 mile=5,280 feet
