I want to learn about: Measurements and Data

In our lives, we are surrounded by information and graphs are used to represent information. That is why it is important to know how to represent graphs. Not only is it ideal to know how to read and interpret them, but it also helps to know if someone is trying to deceive us when presenting […]

In today’s post, we will be talking about the magnitude of length and its difference to distance, as well as how both concepts are integrated into knowledge at young ages. Before anything, we should ask ourselves if we really know the meaning of these concepts: What is a magnitude? What is the magnitude length? What […]

In today’s post, we are going to take a look at activities that you can practice in your everyday life, as a game, to familiarize yourself with units of measurement in the Metric System. With the activities’ help, you’ll stop seeing units of measurement as “abstract entities,” with which you perform calculations guided by rules […]

In today’s post we’re going to take another look at the differences we find in mathematics in different parts of the world. This time, we’re going to compare the British Imperial and U.S. Customary systems of measurement and find out why their equivalences are different. Two systems of measurement have traditionally been used in Anglophone […]

Have you ever wondered what the temperature is at the top of the highest mountains in Alaska. Or how hot it is in the middle of the Sahara desert? How can we measure these temperatures? Do you think every country measures them the same way? Temperature can be expressed using a temperature scale, which allows us to […]

In this post we’re going to look at measurements of time that refer to quantities of years: biennium, lustrum, decade, century, millenium If you want to review previous posts on units of time, you can do so here: Learn how to measure time and the units associated Time: basic concepts to help learn how to tell […]

In today’s entry, we’re going to talk about length, width, and height as tools to find the dimensions of an object. Length is a linear measurement, which means we can only use it to measure the distance separating two points. In this case, we’ve measured the length between the tip of the cockpit and the back […]

In this week’s post, we are going to look at measuring problems, more specifically, problems that deal with the measurements of objects. Not only can we measure the length of a distance with just meters, centimeters, inches, or miles, but we can also use any object as the unit of measure. For example, according to […]

In order to solve time measurement problems, we first need to know what the units of time are and what they are equivalent to. If you already know them, keep on reading! If not, you can click here on this link for a review. As you can see in the table above, there are bigger […]

Hello! Welcome again to the Smartick blog. In today’s post, we will look at mass measures. The main unit that is used to measure the mass of an object in the metric system is the gram. There are other units to measure mass like ounces, very commonly used in English-speaking countries. In the metric system, […]
