    Language Model - Measurement

    Uploaded by

    api-313392422
    This document discusses language used to teach children about measurement units. It is divided into 3 units that introduce comparing attributes like height and width, using arbitrary units to measure perimeter and area, and learning standard measurement units. Children are taught to describe length, perimeter, and area using informal language at first, then move to more precise mathematical terms as they learn to use rulers, tape measures, and other tools to take standard measurements in centimeters, meters, and other units. Recording is not recommended at the initial informal language stage.
