Math for Kids: Measuring

This book offers the young reader a clear insight into understanding length, weight, capacity, and temperature. It gives an easy-to-understand approach to measuring with non-standard, customary, and metric systems.

Kids experiment with non-standard measurement and discover the value of using standard units like those found in the U.S. Customary System and the Metric System, and how cool tools like rules, balance scales, and thermometers can help check estimates, and make measuring easy and accurate.
