Mathematics: MEASUREMENT

                                MEASUREMENT

Measurement is the process of measuring something to be sure about the exact length, size, height, how heavy something is distance etc., using a standard unit. We use this term in our everyday life.

Mathematics is part of everyone's daily life. We use mathematics in everything we do. For example, when we are busy cooking, we use measuring equipment to be precise and not make mistakes and have a total disaster in the kitchen.

Measurement can be in anything we do, so do not think that math is not as important as the other subjects in our school and everyday life, because it is.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT:

• Length (m, cm, km, inch, ft)
• Mass (kg, g, pound, ounce)
• Time (seconds, minute, hour)
• Temperature (Celsius, Fahrenheit)
• Volume (liter, milliliter, cubic meter)

When we are measuring, we use different types of tools for each unit of measurement.

For measuring length, we use a ruler or a tape measure, for mass we use a scale or balance, for temperature we use a thermometer, for time we use watches or clocks and for volume we use graduated cylinder.

Examples of tools used:
