Sizing up Measurement

Expert teachers share a wealth of classroom-tested lessons that help students understand why and how to measure, focusing on concepts important to the middle school math curriculum, including length, area, volume, ratio and rates, similarity, and angles. The lessons emphasize connections between two or more measurement topics and include connections to other disciplines, such as literature, social studies, or science. Each lesson is organized in an accessible, easy-to-use format that includes an overview, a list of materials, a vocabulary list, and step-by-step teaching directions.Lawrence, Ann is the author of 'Sizing up Measurement', published 2007 under ISBN 9780941355810 and ISBN 0941355810.
