Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to measure things. She had a big box of tools including a ruler, a scale, and a stopwatch. One day, Lily decided to measure the height of her house. She found that it was 6 metres tall. She also measured the length of her yard and discovered it was 30 metres long.

Next, Lily wanted to see how far she could run in one minute. She ran as fast as she could for 60 seconds and was amazed to find out she ran 100 metres! She was so proud of herself.

Later that day, Lily’s mom asked her to help with the grocery shopping. Lily learned about litres and grams as she helped her mom buy 2 litres of milk and 500 grams of flour.

As the year went by, Lily continued to learn about different units of measurement. She learned that a kilometre is 1000 metres, a quarter is a fourth of a year, and a half is half a year. She also learned that a degree is a unit of temperature, and a moment is a brief period of time.

And just like that, Lily became an expert in measuring things! She was so happy to have learned something new every day. The end.

Reflections

-What did Lily measure in the story?
-How many metres did Lily run in 60 seconds?
-What did Lily learn about a quarter and a half?
-What was the unit of measurement Lily learned about temperature?
