Measurement

Introduction

Measurement is all about comparing the size, length, weight, or amount of things. We use different units to measure different things.

Length

• Example: You can measure the length of your table using a ruler.
• Everyday Example: How many rulers long is your bed?

Weight

• Example: You can measure the weight of a fruit using a scale.
• Everyday Example: How many apples weigh the same as a watermelon?

Capacity

• Example: You can measure the capacity of a bottle using milliliters.
• Everyday Example: How many cups of water can your bottle hold?
