| "As we become a
more global society, it is important that we understand
the metric measurement system and teach elementary students
to use it properly. To that end, Measuring . . . is a
terrific purchase for both an experienced teacher measurer
or for the first time teacher adventurer. I highly recommend
this guide for third graders, but it could be easily used
in grades 3 to 5, especially for fifth grade review."
