Funded Activity Summary

Developing a Conceptual Understanding of the Measurement of Length, Area and Volume: Studies of Learning and Teaching. Early numeracy is a priority for the New South Wales Department of Education, which has recently developed a very successful, research-based program for teaching number concepts. The production of a similar program for teaching measurement has been assisted by the recent development of a Framework for Learning Measurement but held back by a lack of research on the validity of that framework. This project will provide the needed research base by studying how students' understanding of measurement concepts develops between Years 1 and 4 and by investigating the effectiveness of teaching based on the Framework.
