Description

If you think a yard is a place to play ball, feet are only good for wearing shoes, and a palm is just a tree that grows in Miami, think again! They are all actually units of measure--different ways of measuring how tall, how short and how faraway things are. In this simple, hands-on math concept book, youll learn how the ancient Egyptians and Romans used their fingers, hands, arms, and legs as measuring tools. But dont worry if its all Greek to you. With David A. Adlers playful, informative text and Nancy Tobins colorful illustrations explaining the difference between customary and metric systems, youll really measure up!
