Measure Up

For Ages: 10-12 years Measure Up assists the development of measurement process skills using a sound content base. It provides teachers with an opportunity to present students with outcomes-based, open-ended tasks. Each measurement concept (basic units, conversions, perimeter, area, surface area and capacity) is presented as a series of four types of questions: •Knowledge and understanding of relevant mathematical concepts; •Adaptation of these concepts to more difficult situations through word problems; •Mini tasks involving the solving of word problems incorporating multiple steps; •Open-ended tasks presented on a variety of levels and covering a range of student outcomes. The book will prove to be of enormous value to teachers, and students will be challenged and stimulated by the activities. Author: Donelle Francesconi Click here for sample pages from this book
