The first specific kind of measuring would be like what we are now learning Coordinate Planes.
Coordinate plane: The plane formed by two perpendicular lines called x-axis and y-axis.
Quadrant: The quadrant divides each part of the Coordinate Plane into four equal sections.
x-axis: The horizontal number line.
y-axis: The vertical number line.
Ordered Pair: A pair of numbers that represents a unique point in the Coordinate Plane.
Origin: The center of the Coordinate Plane. (0,0)

Measuring in centimeters and inches is a basic beginner move when it comes to measuring.
Unit of Measure: A standard quantity used as a basis for measuring (centimeters, milliliters, degrees, meters.)
Millimeter: A metric unit of length equal to 1/1,000 of a meter.
Centimeter: A metric unit of length equal to 1/100 of a meter.
Meter: The basic unit of length in the metric system.
Kilometer: A metric unit of length equal to 1,000 meters
Metric System: A decimal system of measurement whose units are scaled on multiples of 10.
Inch: the smallest customary unit of measurement (equal to about 2.5 centimeters)
Foot: a customary unit of measurement equal to 12 inches
Yard: a customary unit of measurement equal to 36 yards or 3 feet
Mile: a customary unit of measurement equal to 5,280 feet
* There are about 1.5 kilometers in one mile, and about 2.5 centimeters in one inch. One meter is a little bit more than one yard.

Perimeter , Area, and Volume are measurement basics. Using this will begin mostly in 4th grade.
Perimeter: the distance around an object. Add all sides (ex. a + b + c)
Area: cover a space ( ex. l x w)
Volume: the amount of space inside an object (ex. l x w x h)
Surface Area: the amount of area (cover space) for a whole object. Find the area of each side and add them.
Rectangular Prism: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Cylinder: 2πRh + 2πR2

U.S. customary units of capacity/volume is very basic. Using this will begin in 1st or 2nd grade.
Ounce: there are 8 ounces in one cup
Cup: there are 8 ounces in one cup and 2 cups in one pint
Pint: there are 2 cups in one pint and 2 pints in one quart
Quart: there are 2 pints in one quart and 4 quarts in one gallon
Gallon: there are 16 cups, or 8 pints, or 4 quarts in one gallon
* A liter and a quart are almost the same, but a liter is a little bit bigger!
Liter: a basic unit of volume in the metric system, a liter is a little bit more than a quart
Milliliter: a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1,000 of a liter.
Ounce: there are 8 ounces in one cup
Cup: there are 8 ounces in one cup and 2 cups in one pint

Milliliter: a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1,000 of a liter.
Weight: the mass of an object, times the force of gravity * You would be weightless in space, because there is no gravity, even though your mass would not have changed!
Mass: the amount of matter in an object
Ounce: standard customary unit for measuring weight. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound
Pound: customary unit for measuring weight. There are 16 ounces in one pound, and 2,000 pounds in one ton
Ton: customary unit for measuring weight. There are 2,000 pounds in one ton.
Gram: a standard metric unit for measuring mass (or weight on Earth)
Kilogram: a metric unit for measuring mass (weight on Earth), there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram
* One ounce is about 28 grams and 1 pound is about 2.2 kilograms
Mass: the amount of matter in an object
Ounce: standard customary unit for measuring weight. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound

Radius: the distance from the center of the circle to a point on the outside of the circle
Diameter: a special chord that goes from one point on the outside of the circle, to another point on the outside of the circle, through the center
Chord: a line segment that goes from one point on the outside of the circle to another point on the outside of the circle (NOT NECESSARILY THROUGH THE CENTER)
Pi: a ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter
Circumference: the distance around a circle
Diameter: a special chord that goes from one point on the outside of the circle, to another point on the outside of the circle, through the center
