What Research Says: Measurement or Mimicry?

Phillips, Darrell G.

Science and Children, v20 n3 p32-34 Nov-Dec 1982

Elementary school students (N=226) in grades 1-6 were interviewed to determine competency with measurement tasks. Data indicate that fundamentals of measurement (although taught) were not understood or retained by a sizable proportion of these students. Classroom activities are suggested to remedy the situation.
