Measurement is the weakest area across the United States in mathematics and science. All parents should have certain materials available in their home to help their children excel in these subject areas. Using these materials at home with your child will make measurement real and concrete. Without any previous practice using these tools, the concepts behind them will be abstract and very difficult to understand. Children benefit from working with their hands and most importantly, talking about what they're doing with their hands.
