Asked by Amy

My nine year old does not seem to understand when to use each kind of measurement, such as centimeter, meter, kilometer, foo, mile, and inches. My husband and I tried to explain but I think we confused her more. Do you have a suggestion or guideline to help her.

Visuals always worked for me during that age but in schools they expect us to learn from just words and descriptions alone. I just wished they taught that way all the time.

You could go and use a ruler at first to demonstrate the centimeter and inches, a meterstick could help with the meter. Then you could compare each and build from that's such as this many of one measurement equals another unit of measurement. I don't know what you mean by a <b>foo</b> however unless that's a typo.
