Estimate a personally relevant length, including the distance around a space, using one's own choice of standard unit.

(c)

Compare estimates of the same length made by different units and provide reasons for different values being stated for the measurements.

(d)

Critique the statement "It is possible to get an exact length measurement".

(e)

Devise and apply strategies for determining estimates for linear and non-linear lengths using non-standard units.

(f)

Explain why overlapping or leaving gaps does not result in accurate measurements.

(g)

Explain why the same non-standard unit should be used to determine length measurements that are to be compared.
