๐ Topic Summary
When we want to know how long something is, we measure its length! We use different tools depending on how big or small the object is. For example, we can use rulers, blocks, or even our own hands and feet to get an idea of length. Knowing how to measure helps us compare things and understand the world around us better. Think about measuring your favorite toy car or the length of your desk - it's all about learning to measure!
