Measurement level 6-9. A way to bridge math, science, and language.
Normally, you would expect that you would find a flow chart for teaching measurement in the math section. After all, it is math that we are teaching, right? Inches, pounds, cups, all of that equates to making sure our children know the difference between mass and weight, and how many ounces make a pound.
That is not true with the measurement curriculum that ETC Montessori has. As a matter of fact, the design of this set of materials was viewed as the foundation for physical science, chemistry, biology, and ecology. It establishes the foundations for any kind of data collecting and analysis.

Containerizing suggestions:
Large slotted containers (3 if you are using the rotational model; 16 if you are displaying everything.), or in place of the large slotted containers you may opt to use the ETC sorters. The number of sorters remains the same as the large slotted containers, depending on which model you use to display the materials.
