Ever wonder how many marshmallows long your toothbrush is? Well, you're in luck! This hands-on measurement activity requires young mathematicians to determine the length of their toothbrush using Unifix® cubes, buttons, Cheerios, bear counters, raisins, and yes, marshmallows. This fun activity would make a great addition to a primary grade math unit on measurement.
