You need to get a set of measuring spoons and measuring cups. In the low carb cooking lessons forum there is a thread with pictures of these things. You can buy them in grocery stores or dollar stores.
Measuring cups come in 2 ways: the "dry" measure (which you use to measure non-liquid ingredients) and the liquid measure (which you use to measure liquid ingredients.) "Dry" measuring cups come in sets containing a 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup and, occasionally, a 1/8 cup measure. If the set doesn't have a 1/8 cup measure, no worries 1/8 cup equals 2 tablespoons.
The "liquid" measuring cup comes in 1, 2, 4 or 8 cup measures. Each is then further divided into smaller amounts.
About the tablespoon....there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. So 1/6 of a tablespoon is 1/2 teaspoon. 1/8 tablespoon is about alittle less than 1/4 teaspoon.
But check the thread in the cooking lessons forum about measuring so you can see the pictures.
