Measurement

The world is filled with ways to measure: length, height, weight, capacity, money, temperature and time…to name just a few! Your child's understanding of measurement begins with vocabulary development at age four. You can help by using mathematical terms to describe amounts and sizes — for example, saying “tall” or “long” instead of “big.” Simple measuring and sorting activities lay the groundwork for later learning and are easy to incorporate into your daily routines. Don't be surprised if soon your child wants to measure everything around them!
