If you missed last week's post about a great book for teaching factors and multiples, you can check it out here!
This is a great measurement book by David Adler
who has written over 200 kids books. I have written about some of my other favorite measurement books before but this is one is also a student favorite. It is bright, colorful, fun and has a great monster theme. The monsters are going to the opening of a new movie and work together to measure the area, perimeter and volume of the set, screen, popcorn box and more. High interest for kids and usable in grades 3-6.

An entertaining read and a great way to squeeze more math into your day.
What are your favorite books for measurement concepts?

Measurement always seems to get pushed to the end of the year!
DeleteI will have to look for this book! Area and perimeter can be such a difficult concept for some kids, so this can only help!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the book How Big is a Foot? for explaining the need for a standard unit of measurement.
