The Timeline of Measurement



The Timeline of Measurement provides the cultural context for the study of measurement systems. How did measurement systems begin? Why did they change through time? What is the difference between the customary system and the decimal system? And, of course, we now know that "King Henry Doesn't (USUALLY) Drink Chocolate Milk!"

Number concepts

New students get a solid, concrete foundation of number concepts.

The Peg Board

Older students get a concrete introduction to multiples and factors before we introduce how to use them for LCM and GCF. Students love the "race" of the multiples...who will "win"?
