What is the Basic Idea of Measurement?

Measurement helps children understand size, length, height, and weight in the world around them. Year 1 pupils learn to compare objects using words like 'longer', 'shorter', 'taller', and 'heavier'. They start with simple comparisons before moving to measuring with non-standard units. This builds the foundation for using rulers and scales later in their education.
