K.M.2

Make and use estimates of measurements from everyday experiences.

K.M.3

Use nonstandard units to measure length, area, weight, and capacity.

Exploratory Concepts and Skills

• Explore and use standard units to measure and compare temperature, length, and time.
• Identify positions of events over time, e.g., earlier, later.
