For Good Measure

For Good Measure is a book about math and measurement. It focuses mainly on American units of measure, rather than on the metric system. It does talk about the metric system and make comparisons between the metric and nonmetric system. It contains pictures of what each measurement would look like and tells the history of the measurement and the etymology of the word. This is a good resource for students, but the vocabulary might be a little tough. It is worth having in the classroom.
