I can never say enough good things about purchasing something from Amy Lemons. My students have started to notice her name on some of the math papers and get very excited!
Absolutely loved this! I used almost all the activities for my measuring unit! Great hands-on application for students! They loved it and I loved the learning that was taking place!
Wow! My kiddos had so much fun with all these hands on activities, the I Spy Sandcastles activity really gave my students a better understanding of measurement as well as the Find It! activity! Loved to see my students enjoying learning!

How do I make the Flap Books? I'm looking at the inch, foot, yard one and can tell I'm supposed to cut on the dashed lines. Then what? It confuses me more because the centimeter meter flap book doesn't have dashed lines.
You fold the paper in half and then cut on the lines in between the flaps :)

Hi Amy,
I too am wondering if those pages mentioned by Donna could be done in cm for your Canadian fans :) If not, no worries. Do you think they could be easily changed by me? I'll wait to hear from you before I buy :) Thanks!
The first two activities are the only ones that are specific to inches... and that's because when making the pictures I made them to the nearest inch. On the recording sheets, there is place where it says (very small) inches... it could easily be whited out. All of the other activities are made for both inches and centimeters :)

Hi Amy,
I'm wondering if all activities are available in cm? I will only be able to use the activities in cm and not those in inches.
Thanks!
Here is the product description... it shows which activities are in cm:

Dear Amy,
I recently purchased your ( I can measure) and although some things have cm's not all.
I spy sandcastle p18, Estimate length p17 and measuring around the room p21 are only in inches.
I know it's a bother but is there any chance I could get those pages redone to indicate cm's?
Cheers

Does your activity packet measure to the nearest 1/2 and 1/4 inch?
Thank you, Carol Bergen
