Document Summary
--siemon et al. (2015) chapter 11 (developing a sense of measurement and geometry) and chapter 19 (measurement concepts and strategies) You should have achieved the following learning outcomes: --an understanding of the conceptual foundations associated with the process of measurement. --understand and identify the learning sequence for measurement. --be able to articulate the principles of measurement. --investigate approaches to develop an understanding of different measurement concepts with a particular focus on length. --measurement involves the comparison of some attribute of the thing being measured with a quantity of that attribute chosen as the unit, in order to provide a number. --presented together to emphasise their relationship to each other, enhancing their practical relevance (acara, 2015) --length distance between 2 points (perimeter distance around the outside, circumference circle) --the ability to estimate is enhanced through practice and over time. --sometimes it is better to over-estimate or underestimate.
