Inches, feet, and meters too,
Lots of measurements for me and you!
If you want to measure height or width,
Inches and feet will do the trick!

Half a pound or a kilogram,
Weight is something we understand!
Measure it on a scale or a balance,
And you'll know how much there is in an instance!

If you're measuring around and around,
A circle's the shape that can be found!
The distance around is called circumference,
It's easy to measure with some persistence!

For the size of a room or a space,
Square meters are the way to embrace!
It's the measure of length times width,
And you'll know how much space you'll have to use!

Centimeters are smaller than inches,
But they're great for measuring things in small inches!
From temperature to length and height,
Centimeters can measure it right!

Dates can be tricky, but we know,
The month, the day, the year will show!
And when we measure time, we use it too,
For every second, minute, and hour that's true!

So whether it's measuring distance, weight, or time,
These words will help us to define,
The units we use to measure and know,
Just how much of something we have to show!

Reflections

Sure, here are some questions you could ask kids to think about the poem:

1. What are some of the units of measurement mentioned in the poem?
2. Can you explain what each of the units of measurement means?
3. Why is it important to use units of measurement?
4. What are some things that we might need to measure in everyday life?
5. What are some other units of measurement that you know about? How are they different from the ones in the poem?
6. What do you think would happen if we didn't have units of measurement?
7. Can you think of any fun activities or games we could play to practice using units of measurement?
