The Relationship between Volume Conservation and the Learning of a Volume Algorithm for a Cuboid.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Feghali, Issa – 1980
This study investigated the relationship between the level of conservation of displaced volume and the degree to which sixth graders learn the volume algorithm of a cuboid, i.e., volume = length x width x height (v = l x w x h). The problem is a consequence of an apparent discrepancy between the present school programs and the theory of Piaget…
