Explore mass, capacity, length and temperature with the measurement
and estimation pocket chart. Discuss measurement units and what they
represent, determine how many parts equal a whole, and learn the
abbreviations for each measurement. Included are customary and metric
measurements and double-sided cards for various customizable activities.
Nonstandard units of measurement
Brick cards are featured on the back side of the measurement term
cards. Bricks can be used to measure items in nonstandard linear units
of measurement. Estimate how many bricks would reach the chalkboard
from the door. Align the bricks end to end to determine this length.
Gallon cards set
Included are realistic images of a gallon, quart, pint and cup to help
students make real-life connections to measurement units. Cards of one
gallon, four quarts, eight pints and sixteen cups demonstrate gallon
conversions and equivalencies.
Picture cards
Give each student a picture card. Place the meter card in the top row of
the pocket chart and the yard card in the third row. Measure the picture
card with both rulers to determine its length. Remember to measure
from the end of the card, not the picture. Cards are distinguished by
standard and metric measurability.
