OPM1501___Assignment What are the benefits of the use of non-standard units of measurement? Give three valid points. • A benefit of non-standard units is that people who are familiar with that unit may be better able to understand it. If I said someone was as tall as my shoulder, then anyone who knew me would know what I meant - and would be able to visualise the other person's height. • Non-Standard Measurement is a way of introducing Pre School, Kindergarten, Reception or First Grade kids to measurement using a non-standard unit. It involves finding out how big, heavy, long, etc. something is and how two or more objects compare to each other. • Non-Standard measuring is the foundation of real measurement, without it kids don’t understand the importance of the more complex concepts.
