When children come to school, they already know a

marbles, they easily hit the marbles on the target.
Apart from this, there are many examples of games in
which children use the concepts of measurement.
They measure in their environment. These children do
all these things unintentionally. That is why it is
necessary to bring the attention of children to the
concepts they use. In the beginning, this can be done
with non-standard units and later they be introduced
to standard units of measurements. It is important that
all this work should be done by taking the examples
of the children's environment.
In our daily life, we have to measure the length of
many things. For this we use measuring tape or ruler.
Initially, teachers should make children measure the
