Measuring the World
Measurement helps us find out how long, heavy, hot, or full something is. We use different units for different things.
- Length: meters, centimeters, inches, feet
- Weight: kilograms, grams, pounds
- Time: seconds, minutes, hours
Why Use Units?
Units help us compare things. You wouldn't measure your height in teaspoons!
Real-World Measurement
From timing a race to weighing fruit at the store, measurement is everywhere in our daily lives.
Examples
Measuring your height to see how much you've grown.
Timing how long it takes to run around the block.
In a Nutshell
Measurement lets us compare and understand sizes, weights, and amounts.
