Measurement

Every Measurement Consists of two things

● A number● A unit of measure

Standards

●A standard is: something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality ●Example:The CHARLIE Stick

● The room is _________Charlies by _________Charlies

Floor covering Activity

●The school board would like to replace the flooring in the room with nonslip tiling●The cost of flooring is $20 per square meter

1. Form your construction company name

2. Measure the room and come up with an estimate for the cost of materials
