REVIEW:
The World of Measurement Web site gives students a place to study concepts related to measurement, such as length, mass, volume, time, and temperature. Sections begin with an information page and links to interactive exercises and questions. Users will also find links to outside Internet resources and offline activities. The site's audience is grades 3, 4, and 5, but other viewers can learn from the site. Educators can develop individual lesson plans for each concept or use the site for a complete unit on measurement for elementary math classes.
