Counting and measuring are different!
We use numbers for counting and measuringWe use numbers for counting and measuring Counting starts at 1.Counting starts at 1.
It uses only “counting numbers”It uses only “counting numbers” (no fractions, decimals, negatives)(no fractions, decimals, negatives)
Measuring starts at 0.Measuring starts at 0.It uses fractions, decimals, and negative numbers.It uses fractions, decimals, and negative numbers.
Counters and base-10 blocks support Counters and base-10 blocks support countingcounting, but not measuring., but not measuring.

How to start in late elementary (or even middle) school Same path – start when you can Same path – start when you can Build the concepts with whole numbersBuild the concepts with whole numbers Like the video of 4Like the video of 4thth graders working on graders working on
subtraction as distance – move naturally subtraction as distance – move naturally into fractions and decimalsinto fractions and decimals
