Mathematics in Context: Made to Measure

Dear Student,
Welcome to the Mathematics in Context unit Made to Measure. This
unit is all about measuring: measuring your feet, your thumb, your
hands, and the angle made by your arm and your wrist.
You will investigate how measuring units evolved.
You will further investigate measurements for length,
area, and volume. You might be
amazed by what you can measure!
You will find that mathematics plays an
important role in measurement. Every time
you measure something, you might ask yourself:
• Will every person measuring this item get the same measurement
that I did?
• Do all of these things have the same measurement?
• What other units of measure can I use?
• Are there other ways to measure these things?
Whenever you make a measurement in this unit,
picture how big—or small or steep or short—
that measurement is. When you can do this
with all of the measurements in this unit,
you are well on your way to becoming
a mathematician!
Sincerely,
The Mathematics in Context Development Team
