For example
Measure the doorway with hand spans before Daddy builds the gate.
In Grade 1
Children measure with hand spans, feet and string first, so they see why everyone needs the same unit.
Watch out for
Children often start measuring from the wrong place. Line the end of the object up with the start of the ruler every time.
Say it at home
Measure a doorway in your child's foot lengths, then in yours, and talk about the difference.
