Alec, Rudi – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
A metric measurement activity, construction of a portion of a "town" from paper, that provides concrete, semiconcrete, and abstract learning tasks and experiences, is described. Modifications of the activity for primary and intermediate students are suggested. (MK)

Skinker, Judith A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
A game designed to reinforce knowledge of the relationships between certain metric measures is described. (MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Educational Games, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Presented are suggestions for teaching metric conversion and the properties of quadrilaterals. (MK)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Mathematics Instruction, Measurement

Leutzinger, Larry P.; Nelson, Glenn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
Measurement activities designed to lead students to see measurement as more than using a device for getting and recording data or applying formulas are described. The activities will help students develop insights into relating and comparing measurements of figures involving length, area, and volume. (MK)
