Lisa has an important homework assignment — to measure something in several different ways. She has to use standard units like inches and nonstandard units like paper clips to find out height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, and time. Lisa decides to
measure her dog, Penny, and finds out:
Penny's nose = 1 inch long
Penny's tail = 1 dog biscuit long
Penny's paw print = 3 centimeters wide
And that's only the beginning! Lisa learns a lot about measuring — and about her dog — and even has fun doing it! This clear and engaging concept book, delivered with a sense of humor, is certain to win over the most reluctant mathematician. Each book includes the print/braille book and 50 Snap Cubes to get you started with your own creative measuring projects!
