Using referents for imperial units
Unit Referent
Inch (in.) Thumb Length
Foot (ft.) Foot Length
Yard (yd.) Arm span
Mile (mi.) Distance walked in
20 minutes
Note: The distance between the tip of the thumb to the
knuckle is approximately 1 inch. This is called
a referent measurement.
The thumb length, foot length, and arm span are referents.
Each referent is an approximate measure for an imperial unit.

Desk Width of hand ≈ 4“
Example 1 Estimating Lengths Using Imperial Units
Describe how you would estimate the width (across) your desk.
Solution The most appropriate imperial unit is the inch.
Use the width of your hand as a referent. It is about 4 in. across.
Line up one hand with one edge of the desk.
Count how many times you place your hands, one next to the other, to go from
one edge of the desk to the other.
Multiply the number of hands by 4, to get the approximate width of the desk in
inches.
Use a tape to determine
the actual measurement.
Using Referents to Estimate Length
(i) Get in groups (3 to 4) where you will have items to measure using the
referent measurement indicated to determine an estimated length.
(ii) Use the measuring device (ruler or tape) to determine the actual length of that
item.

Item 1 Length of Pencil
Determine how many thumb lengths to measure from one end of the
pencil to the other to attain an estimated measure then use the ruler or
tape to determine the actual measure.
Item 2 Length of course textbook
Determine how many hand widths to measure from one end of the
cover to the other end of the cover along the longest edge. Then use
the ruler or tape to determine the actual measure.

Item 3 Length of a floor tile
Use the length of your foot to determine the length of one floor tile
to attain an estimated measure then use the ruler or tape to determine
the actual measure.
Item 4 Width of the classroom
Hold a piece of string from your nose to the longest finger of an
outstretched arm. Have your partner cut the string to this length.
Use this string to estimate then record the width of the classroom,
in arm spans to calculate the estimated measurement. Then use the
tape to determine the actual measure.
