How tall? How much? How heavy? What time did you wake up this morning? What size is your shirt? What is your temperature? Why is measurement important? Measurement provides a standard for everyday things and processes. It is everywhere playing a vital, and often unexpected role, in our daily lives. This week we explored hands-on 'real world' activities, we explored using standard versus non-standard units of measure, and were introduced to the difference between accuracy and precision. We learnt how to take accurate measurements and the importance of calibrating measuring devices.
