What are the authors’ recommendations regarding teaching students both measurement systems simultaneously? Explain the rationale for their recommendations

The authors recommend introducing the two systems independently of one another, preferably at different times in the year. Lower-performing students tend to confuse facts from one system with facts from the other system when they are introduced concurrently. Low-performing students should be familiar with common units from one system before the other system is introduced.
