CML- Chapter 10: Measurement

This chapter will use children’s misconceptions and errors of measurement to illustrate what underlying concepts they do not understand. Our intent is not to focus on what they cannot do and how to fix it but rather on what they do not understand! There is a great deal of technical research which categorizes the underlying concepts necessary for children to understand measurement. We have attempted to synthesize this research into practical information that a teacher could use in the classroom.
