Use measuring tools to measure length and reinforce the continuous nature of linear measurement.
TEKS 1.7A bridges prior learning and next steps in Mathematics, keeping Measure length (tools/continuous) coherent across the year.
Aligned tasks under 1.7A balance fluency and reasoning so students can explain decisions about Measure length (tools/continuous).
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 1.7A.
Standard 1.7A describes the essential skills and understandings for Measure length (tools/continuous) in Grade 1. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 1.7A.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 1.7A.
