Old and New Skills

Wikipedia defines measurement: Measurement in the everyday sense means assigning a number to a physical object, such as thickness, width, and length using a measuring instrument, such as a rule which is calibrated to compare the object to some standard, such as an inch.

In class, measurement is the ability to determine the size of a piece of wood. Its thickness, width, and length. Measurement is done with a ruler and measurement is taken to the 1/16 of an inch.
