WHAT'S WITH MEASUREMENT?

In today's class we started a new unit on MEASUREMENT. For about as long as there have been human beings, we have come up with different ways to measure things. From a cup of Coke or a specific shoe size, there are hundreds of ways to measure.

In class, we will be talking about the different ways in which we measure volume and capacity. Before we get into the technical stuff, tell us some interesting forms of measurement that you've come across in your everyday life. The more creative the better! For example, my grandmother always adds a "dash" of something to her recipes. I'm not sure how much a "dash" is, but it sure does taste good!
