Why We Measure is a book about all the different reasons people measure. The book also talks about the different ways people measure, as well as the things that are measured. The book explains what can happen when people either forget to measure or measure incorrectly. The book uses examples such as measuring height, length, volume, and even speed. There are all types of explanations as to what will go wrong is you do not measure correctly.

I think this is a neat book. It explains things at a young child’s level. It gives an illustration for every detail it explains. I also enjoy the dictionary in the back of the book. This book also includes a fun facts section, a index, and a learn more section which is great for furthering education. I also enjoy how this book explores other measuring units not just length, width, and height.

There would be numerous uses for this book with a classroom. You could first off begin by showing students the different parts of a book such as the title page, contents, index, and glossary. You could then actually use the book for the reason in which it was wrote, to explain why we measure. You can read the book as a whole and explore measurements, or you could even break the book down into the different ways to measure and expand on them individually. You could use this book many different ways. ( )
