We use measurement in all areas of our lives.

We measure time, heights, weights, distance, the size of containers and how much a container holds.

When we measure these things we use a special vocabulary or special words.

We use special tools to take the measurements we need.

To measure time we use...

Clocks Calendars

To measure height we use...

Rulers Tape Measures Yardsticks
