Students in our Enhanced Education Supports (EES) class have been learning about non-standard units of measurement in math. Teaching children to measure with non-standard units (like hands, blocks, or paper clips) makes learning more accessible and meaningful for all learners. It allows students to explore measurement in a hands-on, sensory-friendly way, reducing frustration and supporting different learning styles. By engaging with real-world objects, students build confidence in comparing and estimating sizes while developing early math skills at their own pace. This approach also reinforces routine, communication, and problem-solving, helping students connect math to everyday experiences in a way that makes sense to them. 

Sincerely,

Angela McPhee
