Discussion

We measure to compare how long, heavy, much, or far -- and we convert between units so the numbers make sense together.

  1. What is being measured in this song, and in what units?
  2. How do you convert from one unit to a bigger or smaller one?
  3. When would you need to measure this in real life?

Quick work-a-long

Vocabulary: measure, unit, length, weight, capacity, convert.
