The best advice I can give about teaching a child is to show them how the subject is related to real life. For example, to teach fractions, cut apples or cupcakes into wedges, and teach from there. If doing lengths and measurements, give each child a 6-12" ruler, and have them measure things in their classroom and/or environment - pencils, pencil boxes, chalkboard erasers, their own shoe, their lunchbox, I could go on, but you get the idea.
Good luck to you, ma'am! And have a great week!

Do lots of hands-on stuff. Measurement is really good for the practical side of things.
It really depends, though, on what aspect of measurement you're doing. If you're doing mass and/or volume, cooking is brilliant. If you're doing length you could do some simple craft activities. Area, you can measure the school's classrooms, football field or anything else that's accessible.
Use different units of measurement, including informal ones, to mix it up. How many hectares is the playground? How How many square cubits?
