Measurement Websites

I am sure you have figured out that we have been working on measurement  the last few weeks.  We have done a focused study of the metric and the customary system of measurement.  I have been SO pleasantly surprised- this is the EASIEST year I have EVER had teaching measurement!  Yay for my kids!

Tomorrow we are taking the post test to see the student's growth.  I can just tell by observation, they have learned a great deal (love when that happens). 

To review for the test I found a ton of really great websites with games.  I thought others might be interested : ).
