Title: A Great Resource For This Concept
Review: I'll just say it, I hate the US measurement system. I hate teaching it. So I was shocked at how easily the four little characters on this placemat taught the concepts. The pictures are perfect and the explanations are solid. My 8-year olds can now intelligently discuss differences between the US and the metric systems of measurement and explain which one makes more sense and why (we purchased the metric placemat as well). I use them both as posters instead of placemats; they are taped onto our wall.I have only one criticism: there are no comparison reference points or examples. A pound is 16 ounces period. For most kids, that means very little to them. A simple comparison to something common would have been helpful.
