Height Measure

The Height Measure is a portable, easy-to-use device designed to help children monitor and record their growth over time. Endorsed by The Child Growth Foundation and developed in collaboration with a leading UK paediatrician, this tool features clearly graduated scales in both metric and imperial units, allowing accurate measurement up to 2 metres. The unit includes a carrying handle and packs away neatly into its base for portability. Accompanied by a project guide with tips on measurement accuracy and assembly, this resource encourages children to track their height, create growth graphs, and calculate Body Mass Index, linking health and maths in a practical and engaging way.
