As soon as I read this book, I thought it was the perfect book for teaching primary age students measurement. It is simply worded for students to understand metric units of measurement. I cannot wait to use this book to introduce measurement to my 8 and 9 year old students.

Bought it for teaching first grade math and getting across the idea of "a half." It did a good job of illustrating the concept in a fun way.

Fun to read. About an Inch worm who measures 1" and his friends who help him measure fruits and vegetables. The friends are 1/2", 1/3", and 1/8".

I thought that the book was very cute. The kids that I read it to enjoyed it as well. I liked that it dealt with fractions in a funny way that made it easier for kids to understand. Fractions are not the most fun math in the world, but this book made it a lot more fun and intertesting for kids. I would recommend this book to anyone who has kids or is a teacher.

This is a great book to introduce fractions and measurement to first and second graders in the classroom. The students are engaged in the characters and the story very clearly illustrates how we often need to use fraction units when we measure various items.

I read this to a group of kindergarten students who had made an inchworm in class for the letter 'I'. The students enjoyed the pictures and how the inchworm would measure the veggies. However I would not reccomend this book for this grade unless you are reading it for fun because most of the students do not grasp the concept of the inches.
