Measurement

We started a unit on measurement today. We discussed how measurement helps us with many different things, including:

• building houses or buildings
• picking clothes that fit
• picking a trailer for your 4-wheeler

We then took some time to discuss how measuring with your feet doesn't always work well as we all have different sizes of feet and steps. So, we chose to measure with cubes today because they are all the same size. We will also be discussing mistakes in measuring and different forms of measurement (weight, temperature) this week.
