Today in math class, we went outside to look for 2 items that could be identified as units of measure. My partner Soha and I found a stick and a container of water that could help with the measurement of length and density. Later, we watched a video on the history of measurement/read about it in our manuals, in which I learned that units of measure were discovered in the ancient times; much longer than I had thought. They used things like human body parts of important people (such as kings) and the distance that a certain animal ran without getting tired to measure centimeters, metres, kilometers, yards, etc. I find their ideas for measurement very interesting, unique, and incredible that we now have all these different units.
