Navigating through Measurement in Grades 3-5

This book follows students' natural progress through measurement in grades 3-5. Early activities help students explore measuring with informal or nonstandard units before using standard units to measure such attributes as length, weight, angle, and temperature. Later activities extend these investigations to the measurement of two- and three-dimensional objects. Students work in a variety of lively real-world contexts, gathering useful measurement benchmarks in a classroom scavenger hunt and investigating the area of a rectangle while acting as owners of a sticker factory, for example.Anderson, Nancy Canavan is the author of 'Navigating through Measurement in Grades 3-5', published 2004 under ISBN 9780873535441 and ISBN 0873535448.
