• 📏 Units of Length: We use units like inches, feet, centimeters, and meters to measure how long something is. Remember: 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
• ⚖️ Units of Weight/Mass: We measure how heavy something is using units like ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms. Remember: 1 pound = 16 ounces, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
• 💧 Units of Capacity: Capacity tells us how much something can hold, using units like fluid ounces, cups, quarts, liters, and gallons. Remember: 1 quart = 4 cups, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters.
• ⏰ Time: We measure time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Remember: 1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds.
• 📐 Perimeter: The perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find the perimeter, add up the lengths of all the sides.
