Math Mammoth Metric Measuring
Elementary Math Workbook
Math Mammoth Metric Measuring is a workbook or worktext that covers measuring length, weight, and
volume using the metric units, and measuring temperature in the Celsius scale. The book is suitable for
grades 1-4, most of the lessons being targeted for second and third grade.
This book contains both explanations and exercises, and is designed to be very easy to teach from,
requiring fairly little teacher preparation, except that in several lessons the teacher needs to prepare to
have measuring equipment on hand, such as a ruler or a scale or measuring cups.
Note: This book contains many same lessons with Math Mammoth Measuring 1 book. Choose Measuring 1 if you want to cover both customary and metric units, and choose this book if you only want to study metric units.
This book is not organized by grade-levels nor with increasing difficulty. Instead, the lessons are grouped
by topic.
The first lessons in each section typically have hands-on exercises where the student uses suitable
measuring equipment, and the last lessons in each section include easy problems about conversions between
the units. The book does not cover all possible metric prefixes or their usage with decimal numbers — these are topics for grades 5-7.
Length
The very first lessons cover measuring length using centimeters and millimeters. Then we study meters
and kilometers.
Weight
Children use the bathroom scales to weigh objects in kilograms. Other lessons teach grams and estimating
weight. The goal is to let students become familiar with kilograms, and have an idea of how many
kilograms some common things weigh.
Volume
The lessons include many hands-on activities so that the student gets first-hand experience in measuring,
and has a basic knowledge of how "big" the units milliliter and liter are. One lesson also includes
deciliters.
Temperature
The lessons deal with Celsius degrees, how to read a thermometer, changing temperature, and temperature
line graphs.
When it comes to measuring, experience is the best teacher. We all use various measuring units in our
everyday life, and using them is the key to remembering what they are and what the conversion factors
are. The units your child is not using are likely to be forgotten easily. So encourage the student(s) to have
free play time with measuring devices such as a scale, measuring cups, a measuring tape, and rulers in
metric units.
