Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.
-

Pace Unit conversion — translating between metric and customary systems -
Bevel Angle — how much a turn, not how long a line; measured in degrees on a protractor -
Degree Temperature — how hot or cold, read off a thermometer; the scale (Celsius/Fahrenheit) you pick matters -
Tare Mass and weight — how much stuff there is; grams and kilograms read on a balance -
Thumb Estimation — measuring without a tool by comparing to references you carry -
Whisker Uncertainty — no measurement is exact; every real number carries a give-or-take (plus or minus)
