Reviews

Color photos and clear, simple text show the use of rulers, tape measures, yardsticks and odometers.-- "Ottobook blog" These colorful, informational picture books can add to a child's understanding of how to measure length, weight, and capacity. Each book in this series focuses on a different attribute, which can foster students' understanding that many different attributes can be measured. . . .I recommend using these books in conjunction with investigations related to measurement.-- "Teaching Children Mathematics, NCTM"
