Learning and Teaching Measurement

Illustrating many important aspects of measurement discusses current thinking about learning and teaching measurement, including such topics as students' understanding, the mathematics of measurement, estimation and approximation, connections, and pedagogy. Covering all levels from early childhood to adult education, this publication focuses on research and practice, as well as the combination of the two. It demonstrates how students can be guided to think deeply about spatial extent, time, approximation, number, and other ideas to understand measurement and to use it appropriately and skillfully. Classroom experiences that highlight the integration of topics, especially geometry, number and operations, and measurement, enhance the learning of them all. Included with the yearbook is Classroom Activities for "Learning and Teaching Measurement." This companion piece, full of valuable supplemental material to the yearbook's topics, also includes pages of ready-to-use classroom activity sheets, a helpful time-saver for any teacher.Clements, Douglas H. is the author of 'Learning and Teaching Measurement' with ISBN 9780873535397 and ISBN 0873535391.
