In this wonderful non-fiction picture book author teaches the children metric and imperial measuring system through examples of human body, nature, architecture and various objects people use. Everything is represented through photographs that in my opinion gives the reader clear idea and understanding of measuring units. What a wonderful way to teach measuring systems in the classroom. How would I use this book in the classroom?
I would first read it aloud and show all the photographs on the pages to the children.
Then I would have children draw different objects that come to their mind in order to represent different units of measurement and ways of measuring objects, distances and time. After reading the book children will definitely learn better concepts of dimensions.
