2. Definition of
Measurement
The definition of measurement is
using accuracy and length to measure
the width or the volume or time and
angles.
3. How we use
Measurement in our
life
We use measurement in our life so we can tell the time,
measure how big things are, measure angles, to tell weight
and length, measure the amount of things we need and
measuring temperature.
4. Measuring tools
Tools to measure the length and the width: ruler, measuring tape.
Tools that measure the amount and capacity: measuring cups.
Tools that measure angles: protractor.
Tools that measure the weight: scale.
Tools that measure temperature: thermometer.
Other measuring tools: seismograph.
5. Measurement
Conversions
Here are some measurement conversion examples:
Millimeters to centimeters
Miles to kilometers
Minutes to hours
Seconds to minutes
Feet to meters
Kilograms to pounds
Celsius to fahrenheit
6. Measurement and
Materials connection
Materials have a connection with
measurement because you can use
some materials to measure
length, width and space.

7. Different
measurement
used
In measurement we have different types of measurement (see in
slide 5) used for measuring mass, volume, length, width,
temperature, time and accuracy. The list is down here
Kilometers, miles, meters, centimeters, feet= length and width.
Celsius, fahrenheit= temperature. Hours, minutes, seconds=
time. Degrees= accuracy.
8. Measurement symbols
In measurement, we usually use measurement symbols to tell
kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, miles and fahrenheit.
Here we have some symbols representing kilometers, meters,
fahrenheit and millimeters: Km, cm, ˚F, mm, m.
