Over the weekend, one of my eight year olds was bored, so I introduced her to her next math chapter on measurement. I kind of gave her and overview of both systems and talked about the different types of measurements (length, weight, capacity, etc). We ended up making a little poster together, which she enjoyed; she selected the clip art and she learned how to work with tables in Word.
The poster basically compares the US customary and the metric system, showing which system uses what units for length, capacity, weight, temperature and time.
