Publisher's Synopsis
The informal measurement activities in this book are designed to teach the concepts of measurement and develop the process skills involved in measuring. All the activities support current mathematics standards. As children engage in these measurement activities, they will make visual comparisons using concrete objects. They will use the frogs to measure and will connect the repeated physical action of measuring to the repeated unit of measure. They will develop an understanding of the concepts of length, weight, perimeter, and area. The act of measuring commonly used objects helps connect the activities to a child's real world.
