1st grade measuring length videos
Quick answer
This short playlist covers 1st grade length: comparing longer and shorter, ordering three objects, and measuring with same-size units like cubes or paper clips. It includes Learn Bright's measurement lesson, Kids Academy worked examples and Sesame Street's "Measure, Yeah, Measure". Play all on repeat, or loop one example while your child measures along.

What do children learn about length in 1st grade?
In 1st grade (ages 6–7), children compare and order objects by length, compare two objects using a third one, and measure by lining up same-size units, such as paper clips or cubes, end to end with no gaps or overlaps. Rulers usually come in 2nd grade.
How can RepeatWatch help with measuring?
Set an A–B loop on the moment a video lines up units along an object, then let your child copy it with real paper clips or blocks. Slow to 0.75× to count each unit, and use Stop after so a song plays twice and ends.
Frequently asked questions
What should my child be able to do after this unit?
A child should be able to say which of two objects is longer, put three objects in order from shortest to longest, and measure an object with same-size units, explaining why there should be no gaps or overlaps.
Why are there fewer videos here?
Measuring with non-standard units is a small, hands-on topic, and we only include established channels that teach it at this level. Two Kids Academy videos labelled 2nd grade are included because they compare lengths the same way. Grade levels vary by country and school.
