K-2: comparing lengths, telling time, counting money. Grades 3-4: standard units, perimeter, area. Grades 5-6: volume, unit conversions, and more complex measurements.
How can I practice measurement at home?
Cooking (measuring ingredients), building projects (measuring lengths), telling time, and handling money all reinforce measurement concepts naturally.
Does my child need to know both metric and imperial?
Most curricula focus on metric (meters, grams, liters) but familiarity with common imperial units (inches, pounds) is helpful for everyday life.
