A book that takes you back in time to find out how measurements came about. This brightly illustarted book is in comic form which makes it interesting to read. At the end of the book, there is more information about the metric system and a table. This can be a fun book to use when introducing children to the different methods of measurements and the metric system. ( )

This book shows children how to measure by using length volume and width. The story uses a magician to go back in time to show kids about different measurements of all kinds of things! I love this book to help kids understand math in a fun and imaginative way. Math can be hard for a lot of students, so this book makes learning math more fun. ( )

This story goes back in time, teaching children how people measured items back in the days, and then compare it to how we people measure things today. This story goes in dept, teaching children how to look at and use a ruler to looking a volume and measuring by the weight of something. Along with other books that I have read, this story could be really fun to use in a lesson, and it could even be used to spark a hands-on activity for students to explore and learn how to measure different items of different forms.
