For parents and teachers

For learners who can measure a pencil in centimetres with a ruler. In many schools this fits children of about 8 to 10, and older learners can start here too. Activities use a ruler, string, cups, bottles, water and a home made balance. A kitchen scale and a measuring jug help but are not needed. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it.
