Why do We Measure? by 6XF

We measure:
TO COMPARE
- how much we need of something
- to build
- how much to buy
- make things of a specific size, shape or weight
- for school work

If we didn't
- clothes would not fit
- houses would look strange and might collapse
- medications wouldn't work properly
