Reader Description
We measure food, time, land, distance, and buildings - sometimes, we even measure ourselves. We have all kinds of tools to help us measure these things, but what did people do in the past?
After you have completed the Reader
Practise measuring some things in your house. • How many cubits (page 5) is the length of your bed? • How many digits (page 7) is the height of your computer? • How many spans (page 7) is the length of your kitchen bench? Now follow the instructions on pages 24 and 25 to find the area of your foot.
Thanks for confirming your details.
Our team will be in touch very soon.
