Reply To: Lesson 3 – Why The Unit Of Measure Matters – Discussion

[Christina Michaels]

I, like many who have already commented, always thought of the unit as ONLY 1.

I am so excited with the idea of students creating their own units! I envision my kiddos counting their items using different units, and the great discussions that will ensue because students LOVE it when they can all have a different, yet correct, answer. How rich a conversation it will be too, when we talk about the fractional parts of their units!
