Measurement & Geometry
This two day workshop addresses the big ideas of measurement and geometry (Siemon) which guide student's conceptual development in mathematics. Practically the program also attends to the following key concepts and processes:
- Identification of the attribute to be measured
- Informal measurement
- Developing standard units, and the structure of the iterated unit
- Measuring using conventional (formal units)
- Identifying and using relationships between units
- Application of measurement ideas to life-like context
