We can measure lots of different things in different ways! How long is it? How high is it? How much does it weigh? We measure when we cook! We measure lots of things — from what time it is, to how much something costs, to how tall we are or how much something weighs! Measuring also gives us a chance to learn important concepts like "more" and "less."
