Measurement
Measurement helps us understand size, distance, weight, capacity and temperature. We use these skills every day when cooking, shopping, travelling, building and comparing objects.
Explore practical activities and interactive games that help learners understand how different types of measurement work.
Our activities use familiar objects, clear visual examples, simple instructions and practical situations so learners can build understanding step by step.
