Ways to use it

  • Cut out the strips and tape them end to end.
  • Measure objects around the room and record how many shamrocks long they are.
  • Compare two objects to see which one is longer.
  • Have students guess how many shamrocks long something is before measuring.
  • Make a class chart of the things students measured.
  • Send a strip home so students can measure things at home.
