Measurement in Math

We have spent the last two weeks working on measurement in math. We started by practicing and reviewing time to the minute. We have also learned both US customary units and metric units for mass, length, and volume. We have been introduced to different tools we can use to measure like a balance scale, measuring cups, clock, and rulers. 

We also have been working on understanding how big or small a unit of measurement is. For example, we know that a paperclip is one gram and a dictionary is about one kilogram. Ask your child to help out with any measuring around the house! 

We will be moving into fractions soon!
